    It depends on the amount of the award. Generally, you must file an IT-203, Nonresident and Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return, if you get income from a New York source and it is greater than your New York Standard Deduction.

     

    The Standard Deduction amounts for New York are based on your filing status. They are:

    • Single and claimed as a dependent on someone else's return: $3,100
    • Single and not claimed as a dependent on someone else's return: $8,000
    • Married filing jointly: $16,050
    • Married filing separately: $8,000
    • Head of household: $11,200
    • Qualifying widow(er): $16,050
