Depending on your income, NY requires you to recapture (add back) the benefit you receive from the progressive tax rates. This essentially creates a flat tax rate for higher income earners, so all of your income is taxed at your marginal rate. Because of this rule, you wouldn't be able to just use the tax brackets to calculate your income tax. You'd need to use the worksheets that have the recapture built in.
