Question

In 2017, I had 20 days business travel in NY State. I had $103 in NY tax withheld from my paycheck (box 17). Do I have to file in NY? I live in FL, no income tax here.

I live in FL but travel to NY for business for my company. This year, I filled out form IT-2104.1, and subsequently had NY income tax withheld based on a travel estimate (ended up around $103 for the year). When I try to add NY state income tax within Turbo tax - it is trying to tax my ENTIRE earnings for the year!! Not the 20 days I spent in NY. Help!!

It depends. If you are filing a nonresident return for NY, you are not taxed on your entire income, but it is factored in to determine your NY tax. Let's say that the 20 days you worked in NY is 10% of your income, and you earned 75,000 in the year. NY will figure out your tax on 75,000, and then you are liable for 10% of that amount. That is probably why you are seeing all of your income reported on the NY return, but you are not taxed on all of it.

Again, though, make sure you have selected a nonresident return for NY. A resident return would tax all of your income there.
