I am filing a New York State part year resident return, and want to confirm how to allocate my IRA contribution in the Allocation Worksheet. I earned all of my W2 income while a NY resident, and other income from investments during my non-resident period. I have entered $6k in Column A (Federal) in row 17J, and think I should also enter $6k in the Column B (NYS Resident Period), and keep Columns C & D (nonresident) blank.  Please let me know if you think this is entered correctly, thanks!

Your IRA contribution is allocated based on when the contribution was made- so if you lived in New York January 1 to July 31 and made the contribution in September, it would NOT be New York.  If you made monthly contributions, you would allocate 7/12 of the total to New York.

Thank you.  So if I'm making the contribution in 2021 for 2020, is none of the contribution deductible for 2020 in NY state?  Also, if I am now a full year resident of NY, does the timing of my contribution matter any longer in NYS for my 2021 filing?

Correct, if you're making the contribution in 2021 for 2020, none of the contribution deductible for 2020 in NY state.  If you are now a full year resident of NY, the timing of my contribution doens't matter any longer in NYS for your 2021 filing, since it is NYS by default.
