That’s the thing. They’re from out of state and are being paid out of state but they were working in NYC when they earned it.

I guess the word volunteer has been redefined by liberals to mean taking on a job you are paid to do. Look, we’re all volunteers now.

In that case, he’s crazy. Good luck on collecting.

If someone is not being paid for working within the borders of the state of New York, how is there any income to be taxed in the first place?

Sounds like a plan only a faceless bureaucrat could come up with.

and say I’m gonna spend more money,

NOT TAKING PEOPLE'S MONEY, to democrats, is called "spending money".

Note that New York State wants to actually tax the money paid to people NOT buy the hospitals (where they were volunteering), but money paid by their employers in their home states, during the time they were staying in new york. So, if I took two weeks of vacation from my job in Virginia, and went to New York, I'm supposed to pay income taxes? I don't think so.

Seriously — if you took more than 14 days off of work in your own state, and volunteered your time in New york, let’s say putting out a forest fire, or helping did through rubble after an earthquake, or in this case, the people like “samaritan’s purse’, a charity organization who set up a hospital — they all have to pay STATE taxes on any money they made in from their home states during the time they ‘lived’ in new york.

I’m guessing that if you went to the Catskills for a 3-week vacation, you’d be OK, but if you volunteered for a group that was cleaning up trails in the catskills for those 3 weeks, you’d have to register and pay state taxes.

Of course, Cuomo is going to try to blame this on Trump for not giving his state money to bail them out for a lot of bad choices.

Cuomo to COVID healthcare volunteers: Drop dead!
Cuomo to Seniors in Nursing Homes: Drop dead! Here! We’ll help you! Say hello to your COVID positive neighbor!

Democraps are subhuman scum.

Why were volunteers needed?

Still haven’t seen utilization rates, capacity info for NYC hospitals during this mess.

I smell a rat.

“Not if the volunteer is from out of state and being paid out of state.“

On that you are 100% wrong. I can tell you from first-hand experience as a corporate consultant who worked in many states there are a lot of states that stipulate if you work some predetermined time duration in that state then you owe that state income tax regardless of what state you are paid in.

Here’s my “authoritative” source: https://www.cpapracticeadvisor.com/tax-compliance/article/12405584/the-tax-travails-of-employees-crossing-state-lines

“However, aggressive state and local taxing authorities recently began pursuing high-profile taxpayers like professional athletes and entertainers who work at multiple locations. Now this so-called “jock tax” is being applied on a wider scale to traditional business travelers.”

His plans for any government funding don’t include anything to do with the virus, or it’s aftermath. It’s solely to fund his special projects so he can line the pockets of his cronies and big donors. He’s wasted billions of dollars on nanotech and green projects that failed, and now he wants to spend even more, on more crap that will fail.

Imagine vacationing in NY in the current environment... and you are still getting paid back home. Do you think you’re immune from this mindset?!

Why would anyone want to even visit NY?!

He's following in his father's footsteps of bringing the state to its economic knee. He won't be happy until he makes sure the rest of the state looks, and smells like New York City.

“Good luck getting any volunteers next time.”

Too true.

In the past I lived in Arizona but did a lot of extensive consulting in California and my former employer was asking me to spell out all the days that I had worked in other states and I gave them nothing. I have better things to do than triple my tax preparer fees and feed sponges and illegal aliens in California.

It is tough for states to differentiate between personal travel and business travel unless you are on their radar so I made sure to never get on their radar.

You know you are dealing with a hard core Leftist when they describe you keeping your own money as a subsidy.
