Hi everyone,
For a period of two months, I provided consulting services to two New York based companies. I did the work out of my home in New Jersey and haven't visited their offices even a single time during this time. I received payment as 1099-NEC. I should also point out that the work I did was in addition to doing full time W-2 work I did for another company (based out of Ohio).
How do I allocate these wages to New York? Based on where they came from? (in this case, it's 100%). Based on the time I spent in the office? (in this case, it's 0%). Is there another consideration?
Many thanks
No, you do not have to file a New York (NY) nonresident return if you have income from your self employment work and you are not an employee of a NY company. Even though you have income from a NY company in your capacity as a self employed contractor, you don't fit the criteria of a NY remote employee, because you have a business that is located outside of NY and you do not work for a company situated in NY as an employee.
It's easy to confuse employee remote worker with a self employment activity that is not situated within NY.

It seems clear you are not required to file, Review the details in the last link above to be sure you qualify as a nonresident without NY source income.
Thanks again. I think I understand.
The link you shared says "NY Filing Requirements: nonresident with income from New York State sources." - the only details that could be potentially relevant are
"You are a nonresident with New York source income and your New York adjusted gross income Federal amount column (Form IT-203, line 31) exceeds your New York standard deduction.". I don't fully understand this. Based on the list, my situation is '$16,050' and the income I got exceeds that. But I also don't fully understand the consequence of that. So I still don't require to file to New York?
Thanks again for all the help.
