The credit for taxes paid to another state is a nonrefundable credit that is automatically calculated in your account when you add a Nonresident return to your already created Resident New York return if you pay taxes to both New York and another state.
NOTE: If you have a dual residency for New York State and another state or Canadian province for income tax purposes, you cannot claim a credit if the other jurisdiction allows a credit against its tax for the total resident tax paid to New York.
Qualifications
- Must be a full-year or part-year resident of New York, a New York State full or part-year resident trust or estate
- Must have income that was sourced and taxed to another state, a local government from another state, the District of Columbia or Canada
- A shareholder of an S corporation and pay tax calculated on the S corporation income
If you have a part-year residency for New York, you will need to manually add information to the account to add this credit.
