I wonder if those who work from home in suburbia rather than commute into NYC, still have to pay NYC income tax on their paychecks.
If your employer is in NYC you pay NYC employee taxes. Ask those who live in NJ or Connecticut? Even out of town sports players pay a New York City tax when they play a game in New York City.
Yes. I had a tax client in Illinois who paid NYS income tax, because of an unusual arrangement. And even more surprising, Illinois agreed to it. Usually, Illinois foregoing tax revenue is like a fat kid sharing birthday cake.
