Reply to comment by Aggie_Hawk in Tax Question - reside in D.C. and work remote for a company based in NY by boopthesnoot19387

Appreciate the reply. D.C. taxes were withheld from paychecks. Does this change your answer at all?

If you didn't pay anything to NY, I wouldn't worry about it. I work remotely for a company in NY too, and they only withheld DC 'state' taxes for me. I'm not going to file anything for NY.

Yep, this is correct. If you didn’t pay NY taxes then there’s nothing to do

Same - been doing that for years. Everyone I know that lives in DC for an NY-based company also does the same.

As blasé as my previous post was, now I've gone down the rabbithole on NY taxes. I'm still not going to particularly worry about it, and I think my company meets the criteria for me to not have to pay this tax, but man NY's income tax law is aggressive. Given the normal dysfunction between MD, DC and VA, at least we've settled on who gets what income taxes in a sane way.

Right? I happened to stumble across an article about taxes and the more I found out about NY the more I got worked up.

Our family tax preparer seems to think we pay NY and then get that amount as a credit on DC. Appreciate all of the input everyone. I'll update when it's all said and done if I remember.

God bless our super simple tax system.

Back when I was in consulting a few years ago, I lived in Virginia, but was frequently on client site working in NYC living out of a hotel during the week. I was required to file taxes with NY state for the portion of time spent in the city. I don't recall the specifics, but it was a bit of a pain in the ass.
