Punish the volunteers, and you won’t get any the next time you whine Andy.

Once an A$$hole always an A$$hole.
The whole damned family is as screwed up as Hogan's goat.

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?!

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

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Subsidies to illegals, but not emergency health workers.

It’s the New York state of mind.

[Fiji Hill]

...they will have to pay New York state taxes, even on income they might make from their home states that they’re paid while in New York.

Is that legal?

I work for a company in Massachusetts but live in Georgia. I do not pay any Massachusetts taxes but rather Georgia taxes. In the past I’ve worked for companies that required me to spend an extended amount of time (30-60 days) in another state. My income tax is based on where I am a permanent resident not the location I am working at.
If a company from NY hired me to work in NY for a period of time I would expect to pay NY taxes.

1. Taxing people who work in your state but do not live there is unconstitutional. The fact that it has not been challenged changes nothing.

2. You should have told them that when you asked them to come and help. That you didn’t, constitutes fraud, and you should be jailed.

Isn’t “paid volunteer” an oxymoron?

[Old Student]

I’m wondering if he’s got balls enough to tell the family of the guy from Denver who died there in NYC that HE has to pay NY state taxes for the time he was there?

[metmom]

There are no end to reasons why I am leaving this God forsaken state.

What a bunch of blood thirsty mercenaries.

We don’t call it *The Vampire State* for nothing.

I'm open to correction, but I believe NY and NYC can only tax income earned in NY or NYC. Not income from your state of legal residence. Needless to say the Governor is disinterested in any of those paid volunteers relocating to NY. Or in raising "volunteers" if needed in the future.
