Do non-residents need to pay taxes to NY for layoff severance pay?

I got laid off in Nov 2022 and was getting continued to get paid as part of the severance agreement. My employer was in NY and I lived in NJ. I did not commute during the non-working period. Should I be paying taxes to NY in the non-active/severance period? Can I claim any deductions for NY?

Yes, you are required to file a nonresident New York state return. Without knowing you tax situation, I cannot give you a definite answer about claiming any deduction for New York.
