Any of those that heeded the call and remained in the state for longer than 14 days are liable for the state’s income tax.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo confirmed on Tuesday that healthcare workers who traveled to New York to help fight the pandemic will have to pay state income taxes because the state can’t afford to be generous amid the pandemic-driven economic fallout.
Cuomo said the financial stress New York State is under due to the pandemic means it cannot afford to give a tax break to the thousands of healthcare workers who came from out of state to assist with response efforts.
Samaritan’s Purse, a nonprofit that built a temporary hospital in Central Park to help with relief efforts, told Pix11 he found the idea of out-of-state volunteers having to pay the state’s income tax shocking.
“Our financial comptroller called me, and he said, ‘Do you know that all of you are going to be liable for New York state income tax?’ I said, ‘What?’ [The comptroller] said, ‘Yeah, there’s a law. If you work in New York State for more than 14 days, you have to pay state income tax,'” Isaacs said.

Guys, NYS is infamous for this. How could people NOT know?!
It’s a stupid story, and it’s silly to see it posted at least a half-dozen times here on FR. The law in NY is what it is, Andrew Cuomo has no power to override it, and it’s almost impossible for NY to enforce it anyway.
Leave and don’t go back.
I heard Rush discussing this yesterday.

NYS has plenty of power to enforce it. Last I knew NYS audits non-residents pretty rigorously.
PA has come to the point that it makes little sense to start a business. I was helping my daughter research starting a business last night. We discovered that PA has a 9.99% tax (one of the highest in the country) on corporations and it applies to S-corps too (no pass thru at the state level). Not that she was going to form an corporation, but you need a tax treatment for a LLC. Three primary choices: sole proprietor, partnership, or s-corp. Partnership is out - no partners. Sole proprietorship cuts your throat at the federal level with no deductions for medical insurance and other things. Solution: move to a free state and F Tommie the Commie. New Yorkers should do the same thing to Fredo's brother, but only if they are conservatives. Leave the Rat scum bags to wither.
It’s ok. Health care workers are altruistic people that do it because they just want to help. The money is simply a bonus.

They audit non-residents like Rush Limbaugh and professional athletes regularly because these people earn a lot of money. If someone earns $80,000/year and they work in New York for 4-6 weeks, the cost of the audit would exceed the tax revenue the state would stand to get from it.
AC, I know middle class out-of-staters who’ve been audited. To a person they’ve all paid up.
During 911 I recall guys who tried to help with the clean up were sent packing cause they were not union..
And the audit costs very little if the target freaks and pays up without a fight. Which is why the bulk of people targeted are not rich folks.
I have two major clients that are “headquartered” in Pennsylvania but are set up as Delaware corporations. I’m sure that’s entirely driven by PA’s corporate taxes.
Send me a private message with the details. Do these people live in neighboring states like NJ and CT that have tax reciprocity agreements with NY?
Why is this an issue? Almost all states have this rule. If you work more than a certain time, you pay income tax to where you worked. If you state has income tax. They give you a credit.
The outrage over this is ignorant.
Here is his greed, 13000 billed to medicare for a CCP virus diagnosis, 39000 from medicare for a patient put on a ventilator, do the math. evil pos needs to be Mussolini’d
NY also exported disease to other states.
Doesn’t make a bit of difference being incorporated in DE when it comes to taxes in PA. There are other reasons for incorporating in DE tho - primarily business laws and DE’s courts. It boils down to contract law and doing business with other businesses. Lawyers like DE a lot better. Some states have capital stock taxes instead of income taxes and incorporating in DE avoids the capital stock tax. PA used to have a capital stock tax (prior to 2016), but also had a foreign corporation franchise tax. So, while a DE corporation didn’t pay a capital stock tax, it had to pay a franchise tax. Post 2016 there is just that flat 9.99% corporate income tax. That applies to all income earned in PA. (Unless the company is large and picked as a winner by politicians to get a tax break.) All small businesses are losers in PA.
IF you don't waive this, don't expect our help next time.
I would think the outrage is that Cuomo wants to tax people who donated their time to help others. I could see the tax if NY had paid them to be there.
