How do I become a New York resident for tax purposes?▾
Generally you need to (1) be physically present in New York for more than half the year, (2) have your "domicile" (permanent home) in New York, and (3) file a state tax return as a New York resident if required. States like California and New York are notably aggressive about claiming residency — moving requires careful documentation: change driver's license, voter registration, primary residence, bank accounts, and minimize ties to your former state.
What if I work in one state but live in another?▾
You generally pay state tax to the state where you EARN the income. Many states have reciprocity agreements with neighbors so you only pay your home state. Others require you to file in both and credit the tax paid elsewhere. Remote workers should pay particular attention — some states (NY, CA) tax remote workers of in-state companies regardless of where they live.
