New York

We have verified with our attorneys, CPAs, and the New York State tax website that the information below is correct.

The State of New York requires that each employer report the total amount from Box 1 (Federal wages) in Box 16 for New York (state wages).

Full-year New York State nonresident employees who perform only a portion of their services in New York State – If at any time during the tax year a nonresident employee performs services in New York State (for example, two days a week, every other week, every other month, one month a year, etc.), the amount of wages that must be reported in the State wages, tips, etc. box on federal Form W-2 is the same amount of federal wages required to be reported in box 1, Wages, tips, other compensation. That amount is federal wages before any allocation that the employee may have claimed on Form IT-2104.1. The employee will allocate the part of the employee’s federal wages that are attributable to services performed in New York State when the employee files his or her New York State nonresident income tax return.
