Multi state question

[scottharris]

Trying to determine how I should be filing taxes.  I live 100% of the time in CT.  Company HQ is in NYC.  I go to NYC office 6-10 times a year.  I work out of small company office in CT.  Do I pay any taxes in NY or just CT? Thanks

You are a resident of CT and a non-resident of NY.  If the income you receive while working in NY exceeds the amounts in the chart below, you need to file a non-resident return.  If it doesn't, you only have to file the resident CT return.   

Non-resident individuals who receive New York source income are required to file if:

Federal filing status:                                                                                                 New York AGI exceeds:

Single and can be claimed as a dependent on another person’s return .............................. $ 3,100

Single and cannot be claimed as a dependent on another person’s return .......................... $ 8,000

MFJ.............................................................................................                                                          $16,050

MFS............................................................................................                                                           $ 8,000

HOH...........................................................................................                                                            $11,200

QW .............................................................................................                                                           $16,050

When would I have to file returns in more than one state?

Here are New York's filing requirements for non-residents:  https://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/file/nonresidents.htm

Remember that ALL your income is taxable by CT, regardless of where you earned it.  The question is whether or not you also have to file a non-resident return in NY.

If you have to file in NY, you'll be able to take a credit on your CT return for taxes paid to NY - so you won't be double-taxed.  (In that situation, be sure in TurboTax that you complete your non-resident tax return before you do your home state return.)

Thank you for your answer.  There is no way for me to determine my income in NY.  I simply go to our main office for bi-monthly internal company meeting.
