Do I pay NYC tax is I'm not living in NYC and telecommute?

Question

Hello,
I'm about to start a job where I am telecommuting and traveling around the US. I live in NY state, but do not live in NYC. The office where I am out of is based in NYC. Will I have to pay NYC tax? Will I get it back at the end of the year? Is it better to ask to transfered to the NJ office?

Answer 1

You only pay NYC income tax if you live AND work in NYC. There are a few exceptions for City employees but since you don't live and work in NYC, you won't pay it.
