Reply to comment by Elandtrical in New York and Singapore top the list of world’s most expensive cities in 2022 by Elandtrical

I lived in NYC and was shocked that I had to file City taxes as well. It still beats living in CT and paying federal, NY state, CT state, and NYC taxes.

You should never have to pay 2 state taxes on the same income. Or to be more precise you get a credit on taxes you pay to other states on your state of residency. So effectively you never pay more than 1 state. If for whatever reason you end up in a situation like this you will effectively pay whichever state has the highest tax but not both. You could still pay NYC tax though on top of CT I think if you had a home on both places and spent any part of a day for more than 183 days in NYC I think. Though the tax should still be a credit against CT if CT is your permanent home.

Edit: Wow after some research having a place in NYC that is not your permanent residence no matter how many days you spend in NYC does not get you taxed as a NYC resident anymore. This was changed 4 months ago.

You do not pay NYC city income tax unless you live in NYC.

You can work in NYC every single day and still won’t pay it if you live outside the city.

Sorry buddy but you filed your taxes incorrectly. You way overpaid if you paid NYC taxes while living in CT.

If this was within the past few years you should file an amended return and get your money back. Consider consulting a CPA since you probably overpaid by thousands.

What form did you use to file your NY taxes? IT 201 or IT 203?

I’d just bring all your affected years’ tax forms to a CPA, explain your situation (I paid NYC resident taxes while living in CT), and ask if they could help you sort it all out and remedy the situation.

Like I said, it’s probably thousands of dollars at stake, so it’s worth your time to get a consultation.
