What to know about taxes in New York
New York adds New York City and Yonkers income taxes, applies a convenience-of-the-employer rule to remote workers, and runs some of the most active residency audits in the country.
New York residents file a state return alongside the federal one, and people who move in or out during the year, or earn income across state lines, often need part-year or nonresident returns. We prepare federal and New York returns together so nothing is taxed twice.
Some cities, counties or school districts in New York levy their own income or wage taxes. We check whether a local return applies to you and include it.
