I work in FL but for a few weeks I went to work to New York for the same company. The company pays me travel time so should I allocate that income to NY for state taxes?

Yes, if you performed work in NY, then your wages earned...

Yes, if you performed work in NY, then your wages earned for this work will be considered NY-sourced.

Therefore, you will have to report these wages on a NY nonresident state income tax return. You would normally get a credit in your home state for taxes paid on a nonresident state income tax return but since FL has no state income taxes related to earned income, no FL state income tax credit is available.

Divide your total wages based on the time worked in each state and report your NY-sourced wages on your NY nonresident state income tax return.

Some additional information about NY state income taxes:

NY taxes all the income reported when calculating NY state income taxes (whether resident, part-year resident or nonresident) but you will only be required to paid a portion of the total NY state income taxes calculated (your percentage of the total NY tax that relates to your NY source income only)

The way that the NY state income tax return works is that NY looks at all of your income from all sources and generates a total NY state income tax on all income. When NY is determining the actual NY state income taxes that you owe, NY multiples the total NY taxes on all income by the percentage of NY source income over all source income. So if all your income is $10,000 but NY source income is $8,000, NY will calculate the NY state income tax on $10,000 then multiply this total tax by your NY source income over total income ($8,000/$10,000) to get your percentage of NY state income taxes on your NY source income. So in this instance, your NY state income tax liability would be 80% of the total amount of NY taxes generated (on all income). That is why all your income is being reported on your NY state tax return.
