NY state nonresident, independent contractor for a NY company and received 1099-Misc. Does this income qualify for NY state taxes?

[TaxedPerson]

I was a resident of CA for the full year of 2019, and nonresident of NY. I worked remotely from CA for a NY company though, who sent me a 1099-MISC. Is this income taxable by NY state? Apparently last year I just filed a CA state tax return for 2018's work, but now I'm not sure if I should have also filed a NY return as well (although I did seek professional advice last year on this question).

I've seen some similar questions searching around, but not this specific situation.

Thanks.

No.

New York considers an employee who is also a remote worker as working for the New York company and therefore requires the employee to file a non-resident New York State income tax return claiming that income. 

However, since you are not an employee, (you were paid as a contractor on a 1099) you would not fall into that category and therefore are not require to file a New York return.
