is election inspector taxable income in NY state?

[KevinG1]

I received money for working as an Election Inspector in NY State. Is this Taxable for NY State and for the Federal government?

This IRS publication states:

“Who are election workers?

Compensation paid to election workers is includible as wage income for income tax purposes.”

I see no mention of this payment under the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance.  I assume it is taxable to NY state, as well.

Yes it is taxable both on the federal and state return.  Here is a Turbo Tax link that explains this more in detail.
