What are New York's filing requirements?
You must file a New York return if:
You have to file a federal return.
You don’t have to file a federal return, but your federal adjusted gross income plus New York additions is more than $4,000 or $3,100 if you are single and can be claimed on another person’s tax return.
You want to claim any of New York’s credits.
You want a refund for any New York withholdings from your wages.
You have income from New York sources and your New York adjusted gross income exceeds your NY standard deduction.
You want to claim a refund of NY taxes withheld from your wages.
You were a part-year resident who had income subject to a separate tax on lump-sum income from New York sources.
You had a net operating loss for NY personal income tax purposes, without having a similar net operating loss for federal income tax purposes.
Dates: New York State personal income tax and corporation tax returns originally due on April 15, 2024, were extended to the end of 2024.
Keep in mind: The state government requires that you use the same filing status as you used on your federal income tax return. An exception applies if a joint federal return is filed with one of the spouses being a nonresident. In this case, he or she must file a separate New York return.
