Foreign tax filer

I lived in NY for one month then moved out of the US. Do I still need to file State taxes ?

Yes, you would need to file a return for the time you lived in NY if you received any income during that time.  However, if you are not a US Citizen and were only here for one month, you will need to use Sprintax.com to file your return as you would have to file a 1040NR for your federal which TurboTax does not support and NY state requires a federal return submitted to submit your state return.

I am a US citizen but I did not make any income in NY during January or early February. Does this still apply?

[ErnieS0]

It depends. New York follows the “leaving and landing” rule. You remain a New York resident even if you moved out of state unless you established a permanent home in your new country.

Additionally, you may have to file a NY return if you received income from NY sources after moving.

If you abandoned your NY residency and established a permanent domicile elsewhere — then you would not have to file a part-year NY return if (1) you did not earn any NY income during your two months of NY residency or (2) any NY-source income after you moved.

If you remain a NY resident, you may still have to file a resident return if you received New York source income after you moved. 

If you had no NY income while living in NY, but had NY-source income after moving, you may have to file a NY non-resident return.

I did not make any income in the US during 2022 at all. I left early February and my permanent address has been in France since then. I made income in France which I already declared in my 1040. 

So in this case, I don't need to file any state tax correct ?

Correct.  If you established permanent residency in France and did not have any income while a NY resident, then you would not need to file a state return.
