I was a summer intern working for a company for about 100 days in 2023. Most of my income came from Minnesota, but I also worked in New York for a couple weeks. I argued that the employee handbook says you should not change your tax location if you are working somewhere else for a short time. I was told this only applies for office employees, not field employees. That makes zero sense to me and left me on a sour note with management as countless field employees told me that is not the case. That is behind me now though and I am trying to file my New York State Tax return as I already paid taxes there. It accounted for about 18% of my gross income with the company as I worked 144 hours in the two weeks I was there. I allocated my New York State wages by using (hours worked in NY)/(Total hours with company). That is how I came up with 18%. The next question says "Did you allocate your income to New York based on the volume of business transacted?" I said no. The question I'm stuck on is "Do you need to fill out the Nonresident Business Allocation Schedule to allocate New York State business income?" Do I say yes or no?

You answer "No." Income reported on a W-2 is not "business" income.
