I am retired and resided in NY for less than 1 Month. My only income was social security and dividends. Do i file a NY tax return?

UPDATED FOR TAX YEAR 2019

According to the instructions for NY IT-201, 

Resident

You must file a New York State resident return if you meet any of the following conditions:
• You have to file a federal return.
• You did not have to file a federal return but your federal adjusted gross income for 2019 plus New York additions (see page 17) was more than $4,000 ($3,100 if you are single and can be claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer’s federal return).
• You want to claim a refund of any New York State, New York City, or Yonkers income taxes withheld from your pay.
• You want to claim any of the refundable or carryover credits in the credit charts.

Nonresident and part-year residents

If you were a nonresident or a part-year resident of New York State and you received income from New York sources in 2019, you must file Form IT-203, Nonresident and Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return.
