Step 1 – Complete the taxpayer information section
Step 1
14 2017 Instructions for Form IT-203 Access our website at www.tax.ny.gov
Item A
In nearly all cases you must use the same ling status that you
used on your federal return. If you did not have to le a federal
return, use the ling status you would have used if you had led.
The only exceptions to this rule apply to married individuals who
le a joint federal return. If you led a joint federal return, see
below. All others, go to item B.
If you led a joint federal return and:
1) both spouses are nonresidents and both have New York
source income, or
2) one spouse is a part-year resident and the other is a
nonresident with New York source income, or
3) both spouses are part-year residents,
you must le a joint New York State return using ling status .
Both spouses must sign the return and will generally be jointly
and individually liable for the entire tax, penalty, or interest due.
This means that if one spouse does not pay the tax due, the
other may have to.
If you meet one of the preceding three conditions but are unable
to le a joint New York return because:
1) the address or whereabouts of your spouse is unknown, you
can demonstrate that reasonable efforts have been made to
locate your spouse, and good cause exists for the failure to
le a joint New York return, or
2)
your spouse refuses to sign a joint New York return,
reasonable efforts have been made to have your spouse sign
a joint return, there exists objective evidence of alienation
from your spouse such as judicial order of protection, legal
separation under a decree of divorce or separate maintenance,
or living apart for the twelve months immediately preceding
application to le a separate return or commencement of an
action for divorce or commencement of certain family court
proceedings, and good cause exists for the failure to le a joint
New York return,
you may le a separate New York return using ling status .
If you led a joint federal return and:
1) both spouses are nonresidents but only one has New York
source income, or
2) one spouse is a part-year resident and the other is a
nonresident with no New York source income,
you must le a joint New York State return using ling status
and include in the Federal amount column the joint income as
reported on your federal income tax return. However, only the
spouse with New York source income (or the part-year resident
spouse) should sign Form IT-203. That spouse must also
complete Form IT-203-C, Nonresident or Part-Year Resident
Spouse’s Certication (see Other forms you may have to le),
and submit it with your Form IT-203. In this case, any refund or
notice of tax, penalty, or interest due will be issued only in the
name of the spouse required to sign Form IT-203.
If you led a joint federal return and one spouse is a
New York State resident and the other is a nonresident
or part-year resident, you are required to le separate New
York State returns. The resident must use Form IT-201. The
nonresident or part-year resident, if required to le a New York
State return, must use Form IT-203. However, if you both choose
to le a joint New York State return, use Form IT-201; both
spouses’ income will be taxed as full-year residents of New York
State.
Item B
If you itemized your deductions on your 2017 federal income tax
return, mark an X in the Yes box. If you claimed the standard
deduction on your federal return, mark an X in the No box.
Item C
If you can be claimed as a dependent on another taxpayers
federal return, you must mark an X in the Yes box. You must
mark the Yes box even if the other taxpayer did not claim you as
a dependent. For example, if another taxpayer was entitled to
claim you as a dependent on his or her federal return, but chose
not to so that you can claim the federal education credit, you
must mark the Yes box.
Item D1
If you marked Yes on federal Schedule B, then mark an X in the
Yes box.
Item D2 Yonkers part-year residents only:
If you received a check from the Tax Department for the property
tax relief credit, you must mark an X in the Yes box and enter the
total amount you received. This payment was generally mailed
in the fall of 2017. Do not include the amount of any STAR credit
check you may have received. For more information, and to
determine your amount, see our website.
Yonkers residents: Your part-year Yonkers resident tax
could be overstated if you do not mark the appropriate box
in item D2 above.
Item D3
Federal Public Law (P.L. 110-343) added section 457A to the
Internal Revenue Code (IRC) to address the taxation of certain
nonqualied deferred compensation. For nonqualied deferred
compensation to which IRC § 457A does not apply due solely
to the fact that the amount deferred is attributable to services
performed before January 1, 2009, to the extent the amount
deferred was not included in your federal adjusted gross income
(FAGI) in a tax year beginning before January 1, 2018, P.L.
110-343, Division C, § 801(d)(2) requires the amount deferred to
be included in your FAGI in the later of:
the last tax year beginning before January 1, 2018, or
the tax year in which there is no substantial risk of forfeiture
of the rights to such compensation determined in the same
manner as determined for purposes of IRC § 457A).
If you were required to report any nonqualied deferred
compensation as required under P.L. 110-343, Division C,
§ 801(d)(2), on your 2017 federal tax return, or if any such
amounts owed through to you from a pass-through entity (for
example, a partnership or S corporation), mark an X in the Yes
box; otherwise mark an X in the No box.
Item E
New York City part-year residents only:
Enter in the applicable box the number of months you and your
spouse (if ling a joint return) lived in New York City during 2017.
We need this information to verify your New York City school tax
credit.
All other taxpayers should leave the boxes at item E blank.

months
Enter this code if:
1) You qualify for an extension of time to le beyond six
months under section 157.3(b)(1) of the personal income
tax regulations because you are outside the United States

York State living quarters maintained for your primary use by
another person, family member or employer.

use, see the instructions for Form IT-203-B, Schedule B.
Note: If you marked the Yes box, and you spend 184 days or
more (any part of a day is a day for this purpose) in New York
State, you may be considered a resident for New York State
income tax purposes. The determination of residency is based
on the facts and circumstances of your own situation. See the

these instructions and the Nonresident Audit Guidelines available
on our website.
In addition, if you marked the Yes box and the living quarters

considered a resident of New York City or Yonkers for income tax
purposes.
If you meet the denition of a resident of New York State, New
York City, or Yonkers, you may not le Form IT-203. You must le
Form IT-201, Resident Income Tax Return.

Overview
The purpose of lines 1 through 19 is to determine the portion of
your federal AGI that is subject to New York State tax, before
certain adjustments. This portion includes any items of income
you received as a nonresident from New York State sources plus,
if you were a resident of New York State for part of the year, any
items you received from any source while you were a resident.
Federal amount column
Enter the amount reported on your federal return for each item of
income or adjustment. In general, you must report income as it
appears on your federal return. (If you did not le a federal return,
report the amounts you would have reported as if you had led a
federal return.)
However, if you are subject to the special accrual rules, either
as a full-year nonresident or a part-year resident, also include all
items you would have to include as if you led a federal return on
the accrual basis. See Special accruals on page 48.
If you le a joint federal return but must le a separate return for
New York State, calculate the Federal amount column as if you
had led a separate federal return.

18 2017 Instructions for Form IT-203 Access our website at www.tax.ny.gov
If you moved into or out of New York State during 2017, use
the Part-year resident income allocation worksheet on page 17
along with the specic line instructions for Form IT-203 beginning
below to determine your New York State source income for the
entire tax year.
Enter only whole dollar amounts (see page 5).
Resident period is the period you were a New York State
resident; nonresident period is the period you were a New York
State nonresident.
Column A
Enter the amounts you reported on your federal return. Include
items you would have to include if you were ling a federal return
on the accrual basis.
Column B
Enter that portion of the Column A amount that you received
during your nonresident period. If you moved into New York
State, include items you would have to report if you were ling
a federal return on the accrual basis for the period before you
changed your resident status.
Column C
Enter that portion of the Column B amount that you received
during your nonresident period from:
services you performed in New York State (for example,
wages, salaries, termination agreements, covenants not to
compete, stock options, and stock appreciation rights);
property located in New York State; and
businesses, trades, professions, or occupations conducted in
New York State.
If you earned salary or wages both inside and outside of New
York State, you must complete Schedule A on Form IT-203-B to
determine the amount that is allocable to New York State. Enter
that amount in Column C. See the instructions for Form IT-203-B
for more information.
See Form IT-203-F, Multi-Year Allocation Form, if you received
income from a termination agreement, covenant not to compete,
stock option, restricted stock, or stock appreciation right.
Column D
Enter that portion of the Column A amount that you received
during your resident period. If you moved out of New York State,
include items you would have to report if you were ling a federal
return on the accrual basis for the period before you changed
your resident status.
Transfer the amounts in Column A to the corresponding lines on
Form IT-203 in the Federal amount column.
Transfer the amounts in Column E to the corresponding lines on
Form IT-203 in the New York State amount column.
Example 1: You moved from Indiana to New York State on
August 15, 2017. On your federal return, you report $35,000 in
total wages. Of this amount, you earned $12,000 while you were
a New York State resident. On line 1, you would enter $35,000
in Column A, $23,000 in Column B, $0 in Column C (you earned
no income in New York State prior to the move), $12,000 in
Column D, and $12,000 in Column E.
Example 2: You moved from New York State to Georgia on
June 10, 2017. On June 1, 2017, your employer awarded you a
guaranteed bonus of $2,000 that it paid to you on July 1, 2017.
You must enter the $2,000 bonus in Column D, line 1, since this
is income accruable to your resident period.
Example 3: You moved from New Jersey to New York State on
May 10, 2017. You own stock in the XYZ Corporation which, on
May 1, 2017, declared a $1,000 dividend payable on June 1,
2017. You also received $500 a month from rental property
located in New York which you sold on April 30, 2017. You must
report the $1,000 dividend income in Column B on line 3, since
this is income accruable to the nonresident period. You would
report the rental income in Column B and in Column C on line 11,
since you derived this income from New York State sources
during your nonresident period.
Step 3

New York State
If you earned your salary or wages both inside and outside of
New York State, you must determine the amount that is allocable
to New York State. This is not necessarily the amount shown in
the State wages, tips, etc. box on your Form(s) W-2. To correctly
determine your income earned in New York State, use one of the
following methods:
To allocate income that does not depend directly on the
volume of business transacted (for example, wages),
complete Schedule A, Allocation of wage and salary income
to New York State, on Form IT-203-B to determine the amount
earned in New York State. See page 42. Also see the caution
below.
To allocate income from a termination agreement, covenant
not to compete, stock option, restricted stock, or stock
appreciation right, complete Form IT-203-F to determine the
amount to allocate to New York State.
To allocate income that depends entirely on the volume of
business transacted, as in the case of a salesperson working
on commission, divide your volume of business transacted in
the state by your total volume of business transacted both in
and out of New York State. (The location where the services
or sales activities were actually performed determines where
business is transacted.) Multiply your total income subject to
allocation by this percentage. This is the amount allocated to
New York State. Submit a schedule with your return showing
how you computed this allocation.
If you allocate your personal service income differently, submit a
separate schedule showing complete details.
Failure to complete Schedule A of Form IT-203-B (and
Form IT-203-F, if applicable) and submit it with your
return will delay the processing of your return and could
result in penalties and interest being charged.

rents and royalties from (1) tangible personal property not used
in a business, if the property is located in New York State;
and (2) tangible and intangible personal property used in or
connected with a business, trade, profession or occupation
you carried on in New York State. If you carry on a business
both in and out of New York State, determine your income from
New York State sources by applying the business allocation
percentage (from Form IT-203-A) or an alternate allocation
method. Include also your share of any rental or royalty income
you received as a member of a partnership or as a beneciary
of an estate or trust (this information should be provided to you
by your partnership or the estate or trust).
Rent from real property – Include rents and royalties from
real property located in New York State, whether or not used
in connection with a business. Also include your share of
any rental or royalty income you received as a member of
a partnership or as a beneciary of an estate or trust (this
information should be provided to you by your partnership or
the estate or trust).
Partnership income – Include your distributive share of
partnership income as reported on your Form IT-204-IP,
New York Partner’s Schedule K-1. Include only those items
of partnership income that you are not required to include

are not required to include elsewhere in the New York State
amount column. For example, your share of S corporation
capital gains is included on line 7. If the corporation carried
on business both in and out of New York State, use the
corporation’s business apportionment factor determined under
Article 9-A, to compute the amount of your income or loss
derived from or connected with New York State sources. For
additional information visit our website. (See Special rule for
part-year residents on page 22.)
(continued)
Step 3
22 2017 Instructions for Form IT-203 Access our website at www.tax.ny.gov
Estate and trust income – Include your share of estate or
trust income from New York State sources (this information
should be provided to you by the duciary). Include only those
items of estate or trust income that you are not required to
include elsewhere in the New York State amount column. For
example, your share of the estate’s or trust’s capital gains is
included on line 7. (See Special rule for part-year residents
below.)
Passive activity loss – Complete and submit Form IT-182,
Passive Activity Loss Limitations for Nonresidents and
Part-Year Residents, to report your passive activity losses from
New York sources. Your passive activity loss as a nonresident
must be recomputed to determine the amounts that would
be allowed if your federal AGI took into account only items of
income, gain, loss, or deduction derived from or connected with
New York sources.
Part-year residents
Also add that part of the federal amount that you received
while you were a resident. Any passive activity loss must be
recomputed as if you led separate federal returns for your
resident and nonresident periods.
Special rule – Part-year residents must determine, and include
in the New York State amount column, the portion of their share
of income from a partnership, S corporation, or estate or trust
using either of two methods of allocation: the direct accounting
method or the proration method.
Note: If you are a partner, shareholder, or beneciary of more
than one entity, apply either method (direct accounting method or
proration method) separately to each entity. You are not required
to use the same method for all entities.
Direct accounting method – The direct accounting method
requires you to determine the actual amount of your share
of income attributable to the period you were a resident and
nonresident during the partnership’s, S corporation’s, or estate’s
or trust’s tax year ending within your tax year. If you elect to use
the direct accounting method, you must use the partnership’s,
S corporation’s, or estate’s or trust’s method of accounting for
federal income tax purposes to determine the amount attributable
to each period. In addition, you must use the method for all items
of income, gain, loss and deduction that are included in your
distributive share of partnership income, your pro rata share of
S corporation income, or your share of estate or trust income.
Proration method – Allocate the items of income based on the
number of days you were a resident and the number of days you
were a nonresident during the partnership’s, S corporation’s, or
estate’s or trust’s tax year which ends during your tax year. The
portion attributable to your nonresident period is limited to the
percentage of income derived from or connected with New York
State sources. (Obtain this percentage from your partnership,
S corporation, or estate or trust.) The following formula illustrates
the computation:

Step 3
Example 1: Sam Smith was a partner in partnership Q during
2017. Partnership Q’s tax year ends on December 31, 2017.
Partnership Q carried on business both within and outside
New York State and has determined that the partnership’s
New York allocation percentage is 65%. For tax year 2017,
the distributive share of income from partnership Q included in
Sam’s Federal amount column on Form IT-203 was $40,000.
Sam changed residence from New York State to New Jersey on
September 30, 2017. Using Steps 1 through 3, the amount of
partnership income that Sam Smith must include in New York
source income (the New York State amount column) on his 2017
Form IT-203, is computed as follows:
Step 1 (resident period)
$40,000 × 273 (number of days from 1/1/2017 through
9/30/2017) ÷ 365 = $29,917.81
Step 2 (nonresident period)
$40,000
×
92 (number of days from 10/1/2017 through
12/31/2017) ÷ 365 = $10,082.19 × .65 = $6,553.42
Step 3
Total amount to include in New York State amount
column = $36,471
Example 2: Tim Jones was a partner in partnership R during
2017. Partnership R’s tax year began on November 1, 2016, and
ended on October 31, 2017. Partnership R carried on business
both within and outside New York State and has determined the
partnership’s New York allocation percentage is 60%. For tax
year 2017, the distributive share of income from partnership R
included in Tim’s Federal amount column on Form IT-203
was $65,000. Tim changed residence from New York State to
Vermont on May 31, 2017. Using steps 1 through 3, the amount
of partnership income that Tim Jones must include in New York
source income (the New York State amount column) on his 2017
Form IT-203, is computed as follows:
Step 1 (resident period)
$65,000
×
212 (number of days from 11/1/2016 through
5/31/2017) ÷ 365 = $37,753.42
Step 2 (nonresident period)
$65,000
×
153 (number of days from 6/1/2017 through
10/31/2017) ÷ 365 = $27,246.58 × .60 = $16,347.95

York State.
Part-year residents
Also add that part of the federal amount that you paid or

Other adjustments to income
Allocate to New York State any other adjustment to income
that relates to wage or salary income earned partly in
New York State, or to income from a business carried on both
in and out of New York State, on the same basis as the income
to which it relates. Some of these adjustments include IRA
deduction, one-half of self-employment tax, and self-employed
SEP, SIMPLE, and qualied plans.
Example: You are allowed an adjustment of $800 on your
federal return for payments by a self-employed person to a
retirement plan, and these payments were made in connection
with a business you operated both in and out of New York State.
If, in determining your business income from New York State
sources, you compute your business allocation percentage on
Form IT-203-A to be 75% (see the instructions for line 6), then
75% of this adjustment, or $600, should be included in the New
York State amount column on line 18.
Line 19 – Federal adjusted gross income
Subtract line 18 from line 17 in each column and enter the
results on line 19. Generally, the Federal amount column will be
the same as the adjusted gross income reported on your federal
return. However, this amount will not be the same if you are
subject to the special accruals, either as a full-year nonresident
or part-year resident.
Do not leave line 19 blank.

Overview
The computation of your New York State income tax is based
on your New York AGI, which is your federal AGI modied by
certain New York adjustments (New York additions and New York
subtractions).
New York State taxes certain items of income not taxed by
the federal government (New York additions). Similarly, New
York State does not tax certain items of income taxed by the
federal government (New York subtractions). See below and
Form IT-225, New York State Modications, and its instructions.
Nonresidents
These New York State additions or subtractions must be
added or subtracted from your federal AGI in the Federal
amount column and, to the extent they relate to income, loss,
or deduction derived from or connected with New York State
sources, they must be added or subtracted in the New York State
amount column.
New York additions and subtractions that relate to intangible
items of income, such as interest or ordinary dividends, are only
required to the extent the property that generates the income is
employed in a business, trade, profession, or occupation carried
on in New York State.
Part-year residents
If you were a part-year resident, include the portion of any of the
additions and subtractions that relate to your New York State
resident period in the New York State amount column. Also,
for the period you were a nonresident, include in the New York
State amount column the portion of any of the additions and
subtractions to the extent they are related to a business, trade,
profession, or occupation carried on in New York State or are
from real or tangible personal property located in New York State.
Partners and S corporation shareholders
If you have income from a partnership or S corporation, include
any New York adjustments that apply to that income. This
information should be provided by the entity. For important
information regarding these modications, see the instructions for
Form IT-225.
If you have either of the addition or subtraction modications
in the chart below relating to your partnership or S corporation
income, include the amount on the applicable line of Form IT-203.
For all other additions and subtractions relating to your
partnership and S corporation income, complete Form IT-225.
Beneciaries (estates and trusts)
If you have income from an estate or trust, any New York
adjustments that apply to that income, as well as any additions to
or subtractions from federal itemized deductions, will be shown in
your share of a single duciary adjustment.
You, as a nonresident
beneciary, must include in the Federal amount column your
share of the total duciary adjustment. Include in the
New York State amount column only that portion of the
nonresident beneciary’s share of the duciary adjustment that
relates to income, loss, or deduction derived from or connected
with New York State sources. Submit a schedule showing how
the duciary adjustment was computed. If the adjustment is a
net addition, complete Form IT-225 and enter the amount and
addition modication number EA-901 on line 5 of Form IT-225.
If the adjustment is a net subtraction, complete Form IT-225 and
enter the amount and subtraction modication number ES-901 on
line 14 of Form IT-225. Complete Form IT-225 and transfer the
amounts to Form IT-203.
If you led federal Form 4970, Tax on Accumulation Distribution
of Trusts, the income you reported on line 1 of Form 4970 is not
included on line 11 of Form IT-203 because the IRC considers
the distribution part of federal gross income.
You must therefore
include on line 5 of your Form IT-225 the amount of income you
reported on Form 4970, line 1, less any interest income on
state and local bonds and obligations of New York State and
its local governments (that was included on Form 4970, line 5).
See addition modication number A-114 in the instructions for
Form IT-225.
New York additions
Line 20 – Interest income on state and local
bonds and obligations
Do you have interest income from state and local bonds and
obligations from states other than New York State or its local
governments? If No, go to line 21. If Yes, see below.
Federal amount column
If Yes, enter any such interest income that you received or that
was credited to you during 2017, that was not included in your
federal AGI. This includes interest income on state and local

obligations of states other than New York.
If you purchased a bond between interest dates, include the
amount of interest you received during the year, less the sellers
accrued interest (the amount accrued from the interest date
preceding your purchase to the date you purchased the bond).
If you sold a bond between interest dates, include the amount of
interest you received during the year plus the accrued interest
amount (the amount accrued from the interest date preceding
the date you sold the bond to the date you sold the bond). You
should have received this information when you purchased or
sold the bond.
New York State amount column
Do not make this addition for any period you were a nonresident
unless the addition is attributable to a business, trade, profession,
or occupation carried on in New York State.
If you were a part-year resident, you must also add the part of
the federal amount that you received or that was credited to you
for the period you were a resident.

Line 25 – Pensions of New York State and local
governments and the federal government
Did you receive a pension or other distribution from a NYS or
local government pension plan or federal government pension
plan? If No, go to line 26.
If Yes, and the pension or distribution amount was included in
your federal AGI, enter in both the Federal amount column and
New York State amount column the amount included in line 10
that represents any pension you received, or distributions
made to you from a pension plan which represents a return
of contributions in a year prior to retirement, as an ofcer,
employee, or beneciary of an ofcer or employee of:
NYS, including State and City University of New York and NYS
Education Department employees who
belong to the Optional
Retirement Program.
Optional Retirement Program members may only subtract
that portion attributable to employment with the State or City
University of New York or the NYS Education Department.
Certain public authorities, including:
Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) Police 20-Year
Retirement Program;
Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority
(MABSTOA); and
Long Island Railroad Company.
Local governments within the state (for more details see
Publication 36, General Information for Senior Citizens and
Retired Persons ) .
The United States, its territories, possessions (or political
subdivisions thereof), or any agency or instrumentality
of the United States (including the military), or the
District of Columbia.
Also include distributions received from a New York State or
local pension plan or from a federal government pension plan
as a nonemployee spouse in accordance with a court-issued
qualied domestic relations order (QDRO) that meets the criteria
of IRC section 414(p)(1)(A) or in accordance with a domestic
relations order (DRO) issued by a New York court. For additional
information, see Publication 36.
You may not subtract (1) pension payments or return of
contributions that were attributable to your employment by an
employer other than a New York public employer, such as a
private university, and any portion attributable to contributions
you made to a supplemental annuity plan which was funded
through a salary reduction program; or (2) periodic distributions
from government (IRC section 457) deferred compensation
plans. However, these payments and distributions may qualify
for the pension and annuity income exclusion described in the
instructions for line 28 below.
Line 27 – Interest income on U.S. government
bonds
Did you include interest income from U.S. government bonds or
other U.S. government obligations on lines 2, 6, or 11? If No, go
to line 28.
If Yes, enter in the Federal amount column and, if applicable, the
New York State amount column the amount of interest income
earned from bonds or other obligations of the U.S. government.
Dividends you received from a regulated investment company
(mutual fund) that invests in obligations of the U.S. government
and meet the 50% asset requirement each quarter qualify for this
subtraction. The portion of such dividends that may be subtracted
is based upon the portion of taxable income received by the
mutual fund that is derived from federal obligations.
Contact the mutual fund for further information on meeting the
50% asset requirement and computing your allowable subtraction
(if any).
If you include an amount on line 27 from more than one line on
Form IT-203, submit a schedule showing the breakdown from
each line.
Do not list the same interest more than once on lines 27 and 29;
see the instructions for Form IT-225, subtraction modication
numbers S-121 and S-123.
Line 28 – Pension and annuity income exclusion
Did you enter an amount on line 9 or 10 that was not from a NYS
or local government pension plan or federal government pension
plan? If No, go to line 29.
Federal amount column
If Yes, and you were 59½ before January 1, 2017, enter the
qualifying pension and annuity income included in your 2017
federal AGI, but not more than $20,000. If you became 59½
during 2017, enter only the amount received after you became
59½, but not more than $20,000. If you received pension and
annuity income and are married, or received pension and annuity
income as a beneciary, see below.
$20,000 limit
You may not take a pension and annuity income exclusion that
exceeds $20,000, regardless of the source(s) of the income.
Qualifying pension and annuity income includes:
periodic payments for services you performed as an employee
before you retired;
periodic and lump-sum payments from an IRA, but not
payments derived from contributions made after you retired;
Step 4
Access our website at www.tax.ny.gov 2017 Instructions for Form IT-203 27
periodic distributions from government (IRC section 457)
deferred compensation plans;
periodic distributions from an annuity contract (IRC
section 403(b)) purchased by an employer for an employee
and the employer is a corporation, community chest, fund,
foundation, or public school;
periodic payments from an HR-10 (Keogh) plan, but not
payments derived from contributions made after you retired;
lump-sum payments from an HR-10 (Keogh) plan, but only if
federal Form 4972 is not used. Do not include that part of your
payment that was derived from contributions made after you
retired;
periodic distributions of benets from a cafeteria plan (IRC
section 125) or a qualied cash or deferred prot-sharing or
stock bonus plan (IRC section 401(k)), but not distributions
derived from contributions made after you retired.
Qualifying pension and annuity income does not include:
Distributions received as a nonemployee spouse
in accordance with a court-issued qualied domestic
relations order (QDRO) that meets the criteria of IRC
section 414(p)(1)(A) or in accordance with a domestic
relations order (DRO) issued by a New York court. For
additional information, see Publication 36.
Distributions received as a result of an annuity contract
purchased with your own funds from an insurance company
or other nancial institution. The payments are attributable
to premium payments made by you, from your own funds,
and are not attributable to personal services performed. For
additional information, see Publication 36.
Married taxpayers
If you both qualify, you and your spouse can each subtract up to
$20,000 of your own pension and annuity income. However, you
cannot claim any unused part of your spouse’s exclusion.
Example: Chris and Pat, both age 62, included total pension
and annuity income of $45,000 in their federal AGI on their joint
federal tax return. Chris received qualifying pension and annuity
payments totaling $30,000 and Pat received qualifying payments
totaling $15,000. They are ling a joint New York State resident
personal income tax return. Chris may claim the maximum
pension and annuity income exclusion of $20,000, and Pat may
claim an exclusion of $15,000, for a total pension and annuity
income exclusion of $35,000.
Beneciaries
If you received a decedent’s pension and annuity income, you
may make this subtraction if the decedent would have been
entitled to it, had the decedent continued to live, regardless of
your age. If the decedent would have become 59½ during 2017,
enter only the amount received after the decedent would have
become 59½, but not more than $20,000.
In addition, the pension and annuity income exclusion of the
decedent that you are eligible to claim as a beneciary must
rst be reduced by the amount subtracted on the decedent’s
New York State personal income tax return, if any. The total
pension and annuity income exclusion claimed by the decedent
and the decedent’s beneciaries cannot exceed $20,000.
If the decedent has more than one beneciary, the decedent’s
$20,000 pension and annuity income exclusion must be allocated
among the beneciaries. Each beneciary’s share of the $20,000
exclusion is determined by multiplying $20,000 by a fraction,
whose numerator is the value of the pensions and annuities
inherited by the beneciary, and whose denominator is the total
value inherited by all beneciaries.
Example: A taxpayer received pension and annuity income
totaling $6,000 as a beneciary of a decedent who was 59½
before January 1, 2017. The decedent’s total pension and
annuity income was $24,000, shared equally among four
beneciaries. Each beneciary is entitled to one‑quarter of the
decedent’s pension exclusion, or $5,000 ($20,000 divided by 4).
The taxpayer also received a qualifying pension and annuity
payment of $14,000 in 2017. The taxpayer is entitled to claim
a pension and annuity income exclusion of $19,000 ($14,000
attributable to the taxpayers own pension and annuity payment,
plus $5,000 received as a beneciary
*).
* The total amount of the taxpayers pension and annuity
income exclusion that can be applied against the
taxpayers pension and annuity income received as
a beneciary is limited to the taxpayers share of the
decedent’s pension and annuity income exclusion.
Disability income exclusion
If you are also claiming the disability income exclusion
(Form IT-225, S-124), the total of your pension and annuity income
exclusion and disability income exclusion cannot exceed $20,000.
New York State amount column
Nonresidents
If you received pension or annuity income as a nonresident
of New York State, and were required to report it in the
New York State amount column on line 10 and it qualies for
the pension and annuity income exclusion (see above), enter
that amount, but not more than $20,000, in the New York State
amount column.
However, if you allocated the amount included on line 10, in the
New York State amount column because you performed services
inside and outside New York State, then you must allocate the
pension and annuity exclusion in the same manner, using the
same allocation percentage (but not more than $20,000).
Part-year residents
You may be entitled to deduct in the New York State amount
column a pension and annuity income exclusion of up to $20,000
for each of your taxable periods.
For your period of residence, include that part of the qualifying
pension and annuity income that you received during the period
you were a resident, but not more than $20,000.
For your period of nonresidence, include only that part of the
qualifying pension and annuity income you received during the
period you were a nonresident that was required to be included
in the line 10, New York State amount column, but not more
than $20,000. If you allocated the pension and annuity income
that you received during your nonresident period to New York
because it was attributable to services performed inside and
outside New York State, you must allocate the pension and
annuity income exclusion using the same allocation percentage
applied to your pension and annuity income included on line 10
(but not more than $20,000).
Line 29 – Other subtractions
Use this line to report other subtractions that are not specically
listed on Form IT-203.
Enter on line 29, Federal amount column, the amount from
Form IT-225, line 18. Enter on line 29, New York State amount

Line 33 – Standard or itemized deduction
Determine which deduction to use:
1. If you took the standard deduction on your federal return, or
if you did not have to le a federal return, you must take the
New York standard deduction. Use the standard deduction
table below to nd the standard deduction amount for your
ling status. Enter the amount on line 33, mark an X in the
Standard box, and go to line 34.
2. If you itemized deductions on your federal return, use
Form IT-203-D, Nonresident and Part-year Resident Itemized
Deduction Schedule, and its instructions beginning on page 44
to compute your New York itemized deduction. Compare the
Form IT-203-D, line 15 amount to your New York standard
deduction amount from the standard deduction table. For
greater tax savings, enter the larger of these amounts on
line 33 and mark an X in the appropriate box, Standard or
Itemized.
Note: If you choose the itemized deduction, you must submit
Form IT-203-D with your return.
If you are married and ling separate returns (ling
status ), both of you must take the standard deduction
unless both of you itemized deductions on your federal returns
and both of you elect to itemize deductions on your
New York returns.
Note: If you paid qualied college tuition expenses, your
New York itemized deduction may be increased to an amount
greater than your New York standard deduction. You should
complete Form IT-203-D to determine if your allowable New York
itemized deduction is greater than your standard deduction.

Line 41 – New York State child and dependent
care credit
Did you qualify to claim the federal child and dependent care
credit for 2017 (whether or not you actually claimed it)?
If No, you do not qualify for this credit. Go to line 42.
If Yes, complete Form IT-216, Claim for Child and Dependent
Care Credit, and transfer the amount from Form IT-216 to
Form IT-203, line 41. Submit Form IT-216 with your return.
For more information, see the instructions for Form IT-216.
Line 43 – New York State earned income credit
Did you claim the federal earned income credit for 2017 on your
federal income tax return?
If No, you do not qualify for this credit. Go to line 44.
If Yes, complete Form IT-215, Claim for Earned Income Credit,
and transfer the amount from Form IT-215 to Form IT-203,
line 43. Submit Form IT-215 with your return. For more
information, see the instructions for Form IT-215.
If the IRS is computing your federal earned income credit, write
EIC in the box to the left of the money column and leave the
money column blank on line 43. You must complete Form IT-203,
lines 45, 47, 49, 51 through 57, and 60 through 65, but do not
complete lines 66 through 71.
Complete Form IT-215, lines 1 through 9 (and lines 21, 23,
and 24, if you are a part-year resident), and submit it with your
return. The Tax Department will compute your New York State
earned income credit and the resulting refund or amount due.
If you are due a refund, we will send you the refund along with an
explanatory statement. If you owe tax, you will receive a bill that
must be paid within 21 days, or by April 17, 2018, whichever is
later.
Line 45 – Income percentage
To compute your income percentage, divide the amount from
line 31 in the New York State amount column by the amount from
line 31 in the Federal amount column. (These amounts must be
entered in the boxes to the left of line 45.) Round the result to
the fourth decimal place. For example, if the amounts used
were $12,000 divided by $36,000, the result would be .3333.
Enter this decimal on line 45; do not convert to a percentage.
If the amount on line 31 in either the Federal amount column
or New York State amount column is zero or less, enter 0 on
line 45.
If the amount on line 31 in the New York State amount column is
more than the amount on line 31 in the Federal amount column,
the income percentage will be more than 100%. For example,
if the amounts used were $25,000 divided by $15,000, the result
would be 1.6667.
If you used Form IT-230, Part 2, you must complete the
Nonresident and part-year resident income percentage schedule
of Form IT-230-I, Instructions for Form IT-230, to compute the
income percentage to enter on line 45.
Line 47 – New York State nonrefundable credits
See the credit charts beginning on page 8 for a list of
nonrefundable credits. If you are claiming any nonrefundable
credits, complete the appropriate credit forms and
Form IT-203-ATT. Transfer the amount of nonrefundable credits
to line 47. You must submit the completed credit forms and
Form IT-203-ATT with your return.
Line 49 – Net other New York State taxes
If you are subject to any other taxes, complete the appropriate
forms and Part 2 of Form IT-203-ATT. Transfer the total amount
of net other New York State taxes to line 49. You must submit
the completed forms and Form IT-203-ATT with your return.

Line 52 – Part-year resident nonrefundable
New York City child and dependent care credit
If you qualify to claim the federal child and dependent care credit
for 2017 (whether or not you actually claimed it) and:
1) have federal AGI * of $30,000 or less, and
2) have a qualifying child under 4 years of age as of

Submit Form IT-216 with your return.
* For most taxpayers, federal AGI is the amount from
Form IT-203, line 19, Federal amount column. However, if on
Form IT-203 you entered special condition code A6 (for Build
America Bond (BAB) interest), your federal AGI is the line 19
amount minus any BAB interest that was included in the line 19

Note 1 For most taxpayers, federal AGI is the amount from Form IT-203, line 19, Federal amount column. However, if on
Form IT-203 you entered special condition code A6 (for Build America Bond (BAB) interest), your federal AGI is the line 19

Step 6
Access our website at www.tax.ny.gov 2017 Instructions for Form IT-203 31
The MCTMT is imposed on self-employed individuals (including
partners or members in partnerships, limited liability partnerships
(LLPs) that are treated as partnerships, and limited liability
companies (LLCs) that are treated as partnerships) engaging
in business within the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation
District (MCTD). Hereafter, partners and members will be
collectively referred to as partners. Partnerships, including LLPs
and LLCs treated as partnerships, will be collectively referred to
as partnerships.
The MCTD consists of New York City (the counties of New York
(Manhattan), Bronx, Kings (Brooklyn), Queens, and Richmond
(Staten Island)) as well as the counties of Rockland, Nassau,
Suffolk, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess, and Westchester.
The MCTMT is imposed at a rate of .34% (.0034) of an
individual's net earnings from self-employment allocated to
the MCTD. MCTMT is imposed if your net earnings from
self-employment allocated to the MCTD exceed $50,000 for the
year (computed on an individual basis, even if you le a joint
income tax return).
You must calculate your MCTMT net earnings base
separately for each source of self-employment income that
has business activity in the MCTD. If you have more than one
source, combine all the individual amounts on line 52b. This is
done by taking your net earnings from self-employment (see
denition below) from each source and multiplying them by the
MCTD allocation percentage for each source (see Determining
the MCTD allocation percentage below).
Note: If you are ling a joint return, you and your spouse must
each calculate the $50,000 threshold on an individual basis.
If both spouses' individually calculated MCTMT base exceeds
$50,000, then enter the combined total on line 52b. If either
spouse's calculated MCTMT base is $50,000 or less, do not
include that amount on line 52b.
Determining the MCTD allocation percentage for each source of
self-employment income:
START-UP NY approved business owners or partners
of an approved business who have net earnings from
self-employment allocated to the MCTD, must complete
Form IT-6-SNY, Metropolitan Commuter Transportation
Mobility Tax (MCTMT) for START-UP NY. If you have other
sources of self-employment income allocated to the MCTD
(other than the START-UP NY income), calculate those
amounts as shown below. You must include all your net
earnings from self-employment allocated to the MCTD on
Form IT-6-SNY, line 1.
Partners must allocate partnership income to the MCTD
based on the partnership's allocation. Partners will receive
their MCTD allocation percentage from their partnership on
Form IT-204-IP, New York Partner's Schedule K-1, line 29b.
Multiply your net partnership income by this percentage to
determine the amount to include on line 52b.
If you are a partner in more than one partnership, calculate the
amount separately for each partnership.
All others – if all of your net earnings from self-employment
are from business activity carried on inside the MCTD, all of
your net earnings from self-employment are allocated to the
MCTD. Include the total net earnings from self-employment
for that source on line 52b. If your net earnings from
self-employment are from business activity both inside
and outside the MCTD, you must complete Form IT-203-A,
Business Allocation Schedule, to calculate the amount to
include on line 52b. Note: For the denition of business
activity inside and outside the MCTD, see Form IT-203-A.
Example: Pat is a partner in a partnership XYZ doing
business in the MCTD. Pat also reports net earnings from
self-employment from two Schedule C businesses. Business A
carries on business both in and out of the MCTD. Business B
carries on business only inside the MCTD. Pat would calculate
the amount to enter on line 52b as follows:
1) Net partnership income $80,000 multiplied by
65% (.65), the amount shown on Form IT-204-IP,
line 29b = $52,000
2) Business B's net earnings from self-employment
of $36,000 = $36,000
3) Business A's net earnings from self-employment
of $30,000. Since the business is carried on both
in and out of the MCTD, use Form IT-203-A to
calculate the amount to include: Net earnings of
$30,000 × 40% (Form IT‑203‑A, line 8) = $12,000
Total amount to be included on line 52b = $100,000
Net earnings from self-employment generally is the amount
reported on federal Form 1040, Schedule SE, Section A,
line 4 or Section B, line 6 (depending on which section
you are required to complete) derived from the source of
self-employment income.
Under IRC section 1402, income from certain employment is
treated as income from a trade or business, and is reported on
federal Schedule SE as net earnings from self-employment.
Accordingly, the income is included in an individual's
computation of net earnings from self-employment allocated to
the MCTD and is subject to the MCTMT. Types of employment
treated as a trade or business under IRC section 1402 include
but are not limited to:
services performed by a United States citizen employed by a
foreign government, the United Nations, or other international
organization;
services performed by a church employee if the church or
other qualied church-controlled organization has a certicate
in effect electing an exemption from employer social security
and Medicare taxes; and
qualied services performed by a minister, a member of
a religious order who has not taken a vow of poverty, or a
Christian Science practitioner or reader.
If your net earnings from self-employment are not subject to
federal self-employment tax (for example, nonresident aliens),
use federal Schedule SE (Form 1040) to compute your net
earnings from self-employment as if they were subject to the tax.
For more information, see Publication 420, Guide to the
Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Mobility Tax.
Line 52c – MCTMT
Multiply the amount on line 52b by .34% (.0034).
Line 53 – Yonkers nonresident earnings tax

Line 56 – Sales or use tax
Report your sales or use tax liability on this line.
You owe sales or compensating use tax if you:
purchased an item or service subject to tax that is delivered to
you in New York State without payment of New York State and
local tax to the seller; or
purchased an item or service outside New York State that is
subject to tax in New York State (and you were a resident of
New York State at the time of purchase) with subsequent use
in New York State.
Note: You may be entitled to a credit for sales tax paid
to another state. See the exact calculation method in the
instructions for Form ST-140, Individual Purchaser’s Annual
Report of Sales and Use Tax.
For sales and use tax purposes, a resident includes persons who
have a permanent place of abode in the state. Accordingly, you
may be a resident for sales tax purposes even though you may
not be a resident for income tax purposes. See the instructions
for Form ST-140 for more information.
You may not use this line to report:
any sales and use tax on business purchases if the business is
registered for sales and use tax purposes. You must report this
tax on the business’s sales tax return.
any unpaid sales and use tax on motor vehicles, trailers,
all-terrain vehicles, vessels, or snowmobiles. This tax is paid
directly to the Department of Motor Vehicles ( DMV ). If you
will not be registering or titling it at the DMV, you should remit
the tax directly to the Tax Department using Form ST-130,
Business Purchasers Report of Sales and Use Tax, or
Form ST-140.
An unpaid sales or use tax liability commonly arises if you made
purchases through the Internet, by catalog, from television
shopping channels, or on an Indian reservation, or if you
purchased items or services subject to tax in another state and
brought them back to New York for use here.
Example 1: You purchased a computer over the Internet
that was delivered to your house in Monroe County,
New York, from an out-of-state company and did not
pay sales tax to that company.
Example 2: You purchased a book on a trip to
New Hampshire that you brought back to your residence
in Nassau County, New York, for use there.
You may also owe an additional local tax if you use property
or services in another locality in New York State, other than the
locality to which you paid tax. You owe use tax to the second
locality if you were a resident of that locality at the time of the
purchase and its rate of tax is higher than the rate of tax originally
paid.
Failure to pay sales or use tax may result in the imposition of
penalty and interest. The Tax Department conducts routine audits
based on information received from third parties, including the
U.S. Customs Service and other states.
If you owe sales or use tax, you may report the amount
you owe on your personal income tax return rather than ling
Form ST-140.
Using the sales and use tax chart below is an easy way to
compute your liability for all your purchases of items or services
costing less than $1,000 each (excluding shipping and handling)
that are not related to a business, rental real estate, or royalty
activities.
You must use Form ST-140 to calculate your sales and use tax
liability to be reported on this return if any of the following apply:
You prefer to calculate the exact amount of sales and use tax
due.
You owe sales or use tax on an item or service costing $1,000
or more (excluding shipping and handling).
You owe sales or use tax for purchases related to a business
not registered for sales tax purposes, rental real estate, or
royalty activities.
Include the amount from Form ST-140, line 4, on Form IT-203,
line 56. Do not submit Form ST-140 with your return.
If the amount reported on line 56 is $1,700 or more, you must
complete Form IT-135, Sales and Use Tax Report for Purchases
of Items and Services Costing $25,000 or More, and submit it
with your return.
If you do not owe any sales or use tax, you must enter 0 on
line 56. Do not leave line 56 blank.
For additional information on when you may owe sales or
use tax to New York, see TB-ST-913, Use Tax for Individuals
(including Estates and Trusts). For more information on
taxable and exempt goods and services, see TB-ST-740, Quick
Reference Guide for Taxable and Exempt Property and Services.
Sales and use tax chart
You may use this chart for purchases of items or services
costing less than $1,000 each (excluding shipping and
handling). You may not use this chart for purchases related
to a business, rental real estate, or royalty activities,
regardless of the amount.
If you maintained a permanent place of abode in New York State
for sales and use tax purposes for only part of the year, multiply
the tax amount from the chart by the number of months you
maintained the permanent place of abode in New York State and
divide the result by 12. (Count any period you maintained the
abode for more than one-half month as one month.)
If your
federal adjusted gross income
(line 19, Federal amount column) is: Enter on line 56:
up to $15,000 *............................................ $ 11

Line 67 – Amount overpaid
If you have to pay an estimated tax penalty (see line 71
instructions), subtract the penalty from the overpayment and
enter the net overpayment on line 67.
Your net overpayment can be:
1. refunded to you (enter amount on line 68);
2. applied to your 2018 estimated tax (enter on line 69);
3. directly deposited into a NYS 529 account (line 69a); or
4. divided between options 1, 2, and 3.
If your estimated tax penalty on line 71 is greater than your
overpayment on line 67, enter the difference on line 70 (amount
you owe).
Line 68 – Your refund
You must le a return to get a refund.
Enter the amount of overpayment you want refunded to you. You
have two ways to receive your refund. You can choose either
direct deposit to have the funds deposited directly into your
bank account, or you can choose a paper check mailed to you.
Mark an X in one box to indicate your choice.
If you choose to deposit all or a portion of your
overpayment amount (line 67) into one or more NYS 529
accounts, see the instructions for line 69a, new Form IT-195,
Allocation of Refund, and its instructions, on page 41 (of
Form IT-203-I).
Refund options
Direct deposit
Direct deposit is the fastest and easiest way to get your refund.
If you choose direct deposit, enter your account information on
line 73 for a fast and secure direct deposit of your refund (see
line 73 instructions). Generally, the Tax Department will not notify
you that your refund has been deposited. However, if the amount
we deposit is different from the amount of refund you claimed, we
will send you a written explanation of the adjustment within two
weeks from the date your refund is deposited. If we cannot make
the direct deposit for any reason (for example, you don’t enter
complete and correct account information at line 73), we will send
your refund to the mailing address on your return.
Direct deposit of your refund is not available if the refund
would go to an account outside the U.S. (see Note on
banking rules on page 38).
Paper checks
The Tax Department will mail your refund check to the mailing
address entered on your return. Paper checks for joint lers will
be issued with both names and must be signed by both spouses.
Paper checks take weeks to be processed, printed, and mailed.
If you don’t have a bank account, you will likely be charged a fee
to cash your check.
Collection of debts from your refund
We will keep all or part of your overpayment (refund) if you owe
a New York State tax liability or a New York City or Yonkers
personal income tax liability or MCTMT liability, if you owe
past-due support or a past-due legally enforceable debt to the
IRS, to a New York State agency, or to another state, if you
defaulted on a governmental education, state university, or
city university loan, or if you owe a New York City tax warrant
judgment debt. We will refund any amount that exceeds your
debt.
A New York State agency includes any state department, board,
bureau, division, commission, committee, public authority, public
benet corporation, council, ofce, or other entity performing
a governmental or proprietary function for the state or a social
services district.
If you have questions about whether you owe a past-due
legally enforceable debt to the IRS, to another state, or to a
New York State agency, contact the IRS, the other state, or the
New York State agency.
For New York State tax liabilities or New York City or
Yonkers personal income tax liabilities or MCTMT liabilities,
call (518) 457-5434 or write to: NYS Tax Department, Civil
Enforcement Division, W A Harriman Campus, Albany NY
12227-4000. If not using U.S. Mail, see Publication 55.
Disclaiming of spouse’s debt
If you marked ling status and you do not want to apply your
part of the overpayment to your spouse’s debt because you are
not liable for it, complete Form IT-280, Nonobligated Spouse
Allocation, and submit it with your original return. We need the
information on Form IT-280 to process your refund as quickly
as possible. You cannot le an amended return to disclaim your
spouse’s debt after you have led your original return.
We will notify you if we keep your overpayment because of a
past-due legally enforceable debt to the IRS or a tax debt to
another state. You cannot use Form IT-280 to disclaim liability
for a legally enforceable debt to the IRS, or to disclaim a tax
liability owed to another state. You must contact the other state to
resolve your responsibility for the asserted liability.

If you are a beneciary of an estate or trust and are claiming
your portion of any payment of estimated taxes allocated to you
by the estate or trust, include your amount on line 65 and submit
a copy of the notication issued by the estate or trust with your
return. This notication must include the name and identifying
number of the estate or trust and the amount allocated to you.
Step 8 – Enter your payments and credits (continued)
Access our website at www.tax.ny.gov 2017 Instructions for Form IT-203 37
Line 69 – Estimated tax
Enter the amount of overpayment from line 67 that you want
applied to your New York State, New York City, Yonkers, and
MCTMT estimated tax for 2018. The total of lines 68 through 69a
should equal the amount on line 67.
Line 69a – NYS 529 account deposit
You may directly deposit all or a portion of your refund in up to
three NYS 529 college savings accounts. Use Form IT-195 and
its instructions, beginning on page 41, to report the amount of
your refund that you want deposited into a NYS 529 college
savings account(s). The election to contribute all or a portion of
your refund into a NYS 529 account(s) cannot be changed once
your original return is led. Therefore, do not submit Form IT-195
with an amended return.
Enter on line 69a, the amount from Form IT-195, line 4.
Line 70 – Amount you owe
Enter on line 70 the amount of tax you owe plus any estimated
tax penalty you owe (see line 71 instructions) and any other
penalties and interest you owe (see line 72 instructions).
If you choose to pay by electronic funds withdrawal, mark an X in
the box, enter your account information on line 73 and enter your
electronic funds withdrawal information on line 74.
To avoid other penalties and interest, pay any tax you owe
by April 17, 2018.
For additional information on penalties and interest, visit our
website.
Line 71 – Estimated tax penalty
Begin with these steps to determine if you may owe an estimated
tax penalty.
1. Locate the amount of your 2016 New York AGI as shown on
your 2016 return;
2. Locate the amount of your 2016 New York income tax; then
3. Calculate the amount of your 2017 prepayments (the amount
of withholding and estimated tax payments you have already
made or have been paid on your behalf by a partnership or
S corporation for 2017).
In general, you are not subject to a penalty if your 2017
prepayments equal at least 100% of your 2016 income tax based
on a 12-month return.
However:
If your 2016 New York AGI was more than $150,000 (or
$75,000 if you are married ling separately for 2017) and you
are not a farmer or a sherman, your prepayments must equal
at least 110% of your 2016 income tax based on a 12-month
return;
You may owe a penalty if line 70 is $300 or more and
represents more than 10% of the income tax shown on your
2017 return; and
You may owe a penalty if you underpaid your estimated tax
liability for any payment period.
For more information, see Form IT-2105.9, Underpayment of
Estimated Tax by Individuals and Fiduciaries.
If you owe an estimated tax penalty, enter the penalty amount
on line 71. Also add the same amount to any tax due and enter
the total on line 70. It is possible for you to owe an estimated
tax penalty and also be due a refund. In that case, subtract the
estimated tax penalty amount from the overpayment and enter
the net result on line 67. Do not include any other penalty or
interest amounts on line 67. Be sure to submit Form IT-2105.9
with your return.
Line 72 – Other penalties and interest
If you owe a late ling penalty, late payment penalty, or interest,
enter the penalty and interest amount on line 72. Include that
amount in the total on line 70. You may compute the penalty and
interest using the Penalty and Interest Calculator on our website.
Payment options
By automatic bank withdrawal
You may authorize the Tax Department to make an electronic
funds withdrawal from your bank account either by completing
line 73, or on our website.
This payment option is not available if the funds for your
payment would come from an account outside the U.S.
(see Note on banking rules on page 38).
File now/Pay later! You must specify a future payment date
up to and including April 17, 2018. If you le before April 17,
money will not be withdrawn from your account before the date
you specify. To avoid interest and penalties, you must authorize
a withdrawal on or before the ling deadline. If you designate a
weekend or a bank holiday, the payment will be withdrawn the
next business day. See line 73 instructions.
By check or money order
If you owe more than one dollar, include full payment with your
return. Make check or money order payable in U.S. funds to New
York State Income Tax and write the last 4 digits of your social
security number and 2017 Income Tax on it. Do not send cash.
You must submit Form IT-201-V if you are making a payment
by check or money order. For additional information, see
Form IT-201-V.
Fee for payments returned by banks
The law allows the Tax Department to charge a $50 fee when a
check, money order, or electronic payment is returned by a bank
for nonpayment. However, if an electronic payment is returned
as a result of an error by the bank or the department, the
department won’t charge the fee.
If your payment is returned, we will send a separate bill for
$50 for each return or other tax document associated with the
returned payment.
By credit card
You can use your American Express®, Discover®/Novus®,
MasterCard®, or Visa® credit card to pay the amount you owe
on your New York State income tax return. You can pay your tax
due by credit card through the Internet. You will be charged a
convenience fee for each credit card payment you make to cover
the cost of this service.
You can make your payment by credit card regardless of how you
le your income tax return. For returns led before the due date,
you can make credit card payments any time up to the due date.
For returns led on or after the due date, you should make your
credit card payment at the same time you le your return.
For additional information on the credit card payment program,
go to our website.
You must have an Online Services account to make a payment
by credit card. You will need the amount of the payment
(line 70 of Form IT-203), the credit card number, and expiration
date. Have a copy of your completed New York State income
tax return available. You will be shown the amount of the

service. At that point you may elect to accept or cancel the credit
card transaction.
If you accept the credit card transaction you will be given a
conrmation number. Keep this conrmation number as proof
of payment.
Unable to pay?
To avoid interest and penalty charges, you must le and pay the
amount due by April 17, 2018.
If you cannot pay in full, you should le your return on time,
and pay as much of the tax due as possible by automatic bank
withdrawal, check, or money order. Also consider alternative
payment methods such as a commercial or private loan, or a
credit card transaction to pay any remaining balance.
You will be billed for any unpaid tax plus interest (see Amount
you owe). Pay the bill immediately if you can; if you cannot, call
the number provided on the bill to make other arrangements. If
you fail to pay the amount due, New York State may le a tax
warrant, seize your assets, and/or garnishee your wages to
ensure payment.
Line 73 – Account information
If you marked the box that indicates your payment (or refund)
would come from (or go to) an account outside the U.S.; stop. Do
not complete lines 73a, 73b, or 73c (see Note below). All others,
supply the information requested for lines 73a, 73b, and 73c.
Note: Banking rules prohibit us from honoring requests for
electronic funds withdrawal or direct deposit when the funds for
your payment (or refund) would come from (or go to) an account
outside the U.S. Therefore, if you marked this box, you must
pay any amount you owe by check, money order, or credit card
(see above); or if you are requesting a refund, we will send your
refund to the mailing address on your return.
The following requirements apply to both direct deposit and
electronic funds withdrawal:
On line 73a, mark an X in the box for the type of account:
If you mark personal or business checking, enter the account
number shown on your checks. (On the sample check below,
the account number is 1357902468. Do not include the check
number.)
If you mark personal or business savings, you can get your
savings account number from a preprinted savings account
deposit slip, your passbook or other bank records, or from your
bank.
Enter your bank’s 9-digit routing number on line 73b. If the rst
two digits are not 01 through 12, or 21 through 32, the transaction
will be rejected. On the sample check below, the routing number
is 090090099.
Step 9
If your check states that it is payable through a bank different
from the one where you have your checking account, do not use
the routing number on that check. Instead, contact your bank for
the correct routing number to enter on line 73b.
Enter your account number on line 73c. The number can be up to
17 characters (both numbers and letters). Include hyphens (-) but
omit spaces and special symbols. Enter the number from left to
right and leave any unused boxes blank.
Contact your bank if you need to verify routing and account
numbers or conrm that it will accept your direct deposit or
process your electronic funds withdrawal.
If you encounter any problem with direct deposit to, or electronic
withdrawal from, your account, call (518) 457-5181. Please allow
six to eight weeks for processing your return.
Line 74 – Electronic funds withdrawal
Enter the date you want the Tax Department to make an
electronic funds withdrawal from your bank account and the
amount from line 70 you want electronically withdrawn. Enter a
due date that is on or before the due date of your return. If we
receive your return after the due date or you do not enter a date,
we will withdraw the funds on the day we accept your return.
Your conrmation will be your bank statement that includes a
NYS Tax Payment line item.
We will only withdraw the amount that you authorize. If we
determine that the amount you owe is different from the amount
claimed on your return, we will issue you a refund for any amount
overpaid or send you a bill for any additional amount owed,
which may include penalty and interest.
You may revoke your electronic funds withdrawal authorization
only by contacting the Tax Department at least 5 business days
before the payment date.
If you complete the entries for electronic funds withdrawal,
do not send a check or money order for the same amount
due unless you receive a notice.

Third-party designee
Do you want to authorize a friend, family member, return
preparer, or any other individual (third-party designee) to discuss
this tax return and questions arising from it with the New York
State Tax Department?
If No, mark an X in the No box.
If Yes, mark an X in the Yes box. Print the designee’s name,
phone number, email address, and any ve numbers the
designee chooses as his or her personal identication number
(PIN). If you want to authorize the paid preparer who signed your
return to discuss it with the Tax Department, print the preparer’s
name and phone number in the spaces for the designee’s name
and phone number (you do not have to provide an email address
or PIN).
If you mark the Yes box, you (and your spouse, if ling a joint

designee any questions related to this return. You are also
authorizing the designee to give and receive condential taxpayer
information relating to:
this return, including missing information,
any notices or bills arising from this ling that you share with
the designee (they will not be sent to the designee),
any payments and collection activity arising from this ling, and
the status of your return or refund.
This authorization will not expire but will only cover matters
relating to this return. If you decide to revoke this designee’s
authority at any time, call us (see Need help?).
You are not authorizing the designee to receive your refund, bind
you to anything (including any additional tax liability), or otherwise
represent you before the Tax Department. If you want someone
to represent you or perform services for you beyond the scope of
the third-party designee, you must designate the person using a
power of attorney (for example, Form POA-1, Power of Attorney).
For additional information on third-party designees and other
types of authorizations, visit our website.
Paid preparers signature
If you pay someone to prepare your return, the paid preparer
must also sign it and ll in the other blanks in the paid preparers
area of your return. A person who prepares your return and does
not charge you should not ll in the paid preparers area.
Paid preparers responsibilities – Under the law, all paid
preparers must sign and complete the paid preparer section of
the return. Paid preparers may be subject to civil and/or criminal
sanctions if they fail to complete this section in full.

Schedule AAllocation of wage and salary
income to New York State
If any amount included on line 1 of Form IT‑203 in the Federal
amount column represents wage and salary income earned from
work within New York State and outside of New York State while
a nonresident, and that income does not depend directly on the
volume of the business transacted (for example, hourly wages),
you must complete Schedule A to compute the amount earned in
New York State. For each job where such wages or salaries were
earned both inside New York State and outside New York State,
you must complete a separate Schedule A.
If you were married and both you and your spouse worked in
New York State and earned wages subject to allocation, each
of you must complete a separate Schedule A for each job with
allocable wages.
Work days are days on which you were required to perform the
usual duties of your job. Any allowance for days worked outside
New York State must be based upon the performance of services
which, because of necessity (not convenience) of the employer,
obligate the employee to out‑of‑state duties in the service of
his or her employer. Such duties are those which, by their very
nature can not be performed at the employers place of business.
Applying the above principles, normal work days spent at home
are considered days worked in New York State, and days spent
working at home that are not normal work days are considered to
be nonworking days. Under this rule, days worked at home are
considered New York work days only if the employee’s assigned
or primary work location is at an established ofce or other bona
de place of business of the employer (a bona de employer
ofce) in New York State. If the employee’s assigned or primary
work location is at an established ofce or other bona de place
of business of the employer outside New York State, then any
normal work day worked at home would be treated as a day
worked outside New York State.
If an employee’s assigned or primary ofce is in New York State,
any normal work day spent at the home ofce will be treated as
a day worked outside the state if the employee’s home ofce is
a bona de employer ofce. Any day spent at the home ofce
that is not a normal work day would be considered a nonworking
day. For more information on a bona de employer ofce, see
TSB‑M‑06(5)I, New York Tax Treatment of Nonresidents and
Part-Year Residents Application of the Convenience of the
Employer Test to Telecommuters and Others. This TSB‑M is
available on the Tax Department’s website.

period of employment. If you were employed in and out of New
York State for separate periods of 170 days by one employer and

Line 1p – If you have to allocate wages or salaries received from
more than one job, total the line p amounts from all Schedule A
sections and include the total on Form IT‑203, line 1, in the New
York State amount column.
If you are married ling jointly, include the combined amounts
of wages allocated to New York from the separate Schedule A
sections completed by you and your spouse on Form IT‑203,
line 1, in the New York State amount column.
Failure to complete Schedule A and submit it with your
Form IT-203 will result in a delay in the processing of
your return.
Schedule B – Living quarters maintained in
New York State by a nonresident
Complete this schedule if you marked the Yes box at item H on
Form IT‑203. If you or your spouse had living quarters available
for your use in New York State during any part of 2017, (whether
or not you personally used those living quarters for any part of
the year) enter the address(es). These living quarters would
include a house, apartment, co‑op or any other living quarters
that are suitable for year‑round use, maintained or paid for by
you or your spouse, or any living quarters maintained for your
use by another person, family member, or employer.
For example, if a company were to lease an apartment for the
use of the company’s president or chief executive ofcer, and the
dwelling was principally available to that individual, the individual
would be considered as maintaining living quarters in New York
even though others might use the apartment on an occasional
basis.
Enter the number of days you were in New York State, even if
on personal business. (Married ling jointly? If both spouses
spent days in New York State, enter the higher number of days.)
Do not count days you traveled through New York State to use a
common carrier such as an airplane, train, or bus.
Note: If you marked the Yes box at item H, and you spent 184
days or more (any part of a day is a day for this purpose) in
New York State, you may be considered a resident for New York
State income tax purposes. The determination of residency is
based on the facts and circumstances of your own situation. See
the denition of Resident, Nonresident, and Part-year resident in
these instructions and the Nonresident Audit Guidelines available
on our website.
In addition, if you marked the Yes box at item H and the living
quarters were located in New York City or Yonkers, you may also
be considered a resident of New York City or Yonkers for income
tax ling purposes.
If you meet the denition of a resident of New York State,
New York City, or Yonkers, you may not le Form IT-203. You
must le Form IT-201, Resident Income Tax Return.
Schedule C – College tuition itemized
deduction worksheet
If you, your spouse, or your dependent(s) were a student enrolled
at or attending an institution of higher education, you may be
entitled to a college tuition itemized deduction. The maximum
deduction allowed is $10,000 per eligible student.
You must complete Schedule C and submit Form IT‑203‑B
with your return if you are claiming the college tuition itemized
deduction.
Note: If a student is claimed as a dependent on another person’s
New York State tax return, only the person who claims the
student as a dependent may claim the itemized deduction. If
a student is not claimed as a dependent on another person’s
New York State tax return, only the student may claim the
itemized deduction.
Eligible student includes the taxpayer, the taxpayers spouse, and
the taxpayers dependent (for whom an exemption for New York
State income tax purposes is allowed).
An institution of higher education means any institution of higher
education or business, trade, technical, or other occupational
school, located in or out of New York State. The institution
must be recognized and approved by either the regents of the
University of New York or a nationally recognized accrediting
agency or association accepted by the regents. In addition, the
institution or school must provide a course of study leading to the
granting of a post-secondary degree, certicate, or diploma.
Where referenced on Schedule C and in these instructions, the
term college or university includes all the above institutions.
Qualied college tuition expenses include tuition required for the
enrollment or attendance of the eligible student at an institution
of higher education. The expenses may be paid by cash, check,
credit card, or with borrowed funds. The eligible student does
not need to be enrolled in a degree program or attend full time
for the expenses to qualify. However, only expenses for
undergraduate enrollment or attendance qualify. Expenses
for enrollment or attendance in a course of study leading to the
granting of a postbaccalaureate or other graduate degree do not
qualify.
Payments on behalf of an eligible student from a qualied
state tuition program (such as New York’s 529 college savings
program) are considered qualied tuition expenses for purposes
of the college tuition deduction. If you claim the student as a
dependent, these payments are treated as paid by you.
Generally, qualied tuition expenses paid on behalf of an eligible
student by someone other than the student (such as a relative)
are treated as paid by the student. However, if the eligible student
is claimed as a dependent on another person’s New York State
income tax return, only the person who claims the student as a
dependent for income tax purposes may claim the deduction for
college tuition expenses that were paid (or treated as paid) by the
student. This is the case even if the expenses were paid from the
student’s earnings, gifts, inheritances, or savings.
If you or the eligible student claims a federal deduction or credit
for qualied college tuition expenses, you can still use these
expenses to compute the college tuition itemized deduction.
Qualied tuition expenses do not include:
tuition paid through the receipt of scholarships or nancial aid
(for this purpose, nancial aid does not mean student loans,
other loans and grants that must be repaid either before or
after the student ceases attending school);
amounts paid for room and board, insurance, medical
expenses (including student health fees), transportation, or
other similar personal, living, or family expenses; or
fees for course‑related books, supplies, equipment, and
nonacademic activities, even if the fees are required to
be paid to the institution as a condition of enrollment or
attendance.

Special rules
Limitation
The maximum amount of qualied college tuition expenses
allowed for each eligible student is $10,000. However, there is no
limit on the number of eligible students for whom you may claim
the itemized deduction.
Spouses ling separately
If you and your spouse are ling separate returns, you may
each claim your separately computed college tuition itemized
deduction. However, you must each claim your separately
computed itemized deduction based only upon the amount of
qualied college tuition expenses you paid (or that were treated
as if paid by you) for yourself, your spouse, or a person who you
claim as a dependent on your separate return. You cannot claim
expenses for a dependent claimed by your spouse.
For more information on the college tuition itemized deduction,
go to our website.
Line A Enter the rst and last name of the eligible student. List
each eligible student only once on line A. If you are claiming the
college tuition itemized deduction for more than three students,
submit a separate statement with your Form IT‑203‑B. Write your
name and social security number on the statement.
Line C – If the eligible student is someone other than you or
your spouse, the student must be claimed as a dependent on
your New York State return. If the eligible student is you or your
spouse, mark an X in the No box.
Lines D and E – Enter the EIN and name of the college or
university to which qualied college tuition expenses were paid.
Obtain the EIN from Form 1098‑T, Tuition Statement, or contact
the college or university.
If the eligible student attended more than one college or
university during the tax year, enter the EIN and name of the last
one attended.
Line F – If No, stop; these tuition expenses do not qualify for
the deduction. Only expenses for undergraduate enrollment or
attendance qualify.
Line G – Enter only qualied college tuition expenses paid for the
eligible student in 2017.
If you paid qualied college tuition expenses in 2017 for an
academic period that begins in 2018 or after, those expenses are
considered eligible expenses for the 2017 college tuition itemized
deduction.
Expenses reimbursed to you from your employer are not eligible
for the college tuition itemized deduction. When guring your
itemized deduction, you must reduce the total of your qualied
college tuition expenses by any scholarships or nancial aid
received or by any refunds of qualied expenses. If you have
not received a refund, scholarship, or other form of nancial aid
before you le your tax return, reduce your qualied expenses
by the amount that will be received if you can determine this
amount. If the refund, scholarship, or nancial aid is received
after you have led your return, you must le Form IT-203-X,
Amended Nonresident and Part-Year Resident Income Tax
Return. Compute the amount by which your deduction would
have been reduced if the refund, scholarship, or nancial aid had
been received in the year for which you claimed the deduction.
Line H – Enter for each student listed on line A the lesser of
$10,000 or the amount of qualied college tuition expenses
shown on line G.
If you paid qualied college tuition expenses to more than one
college or university for the same eligible student, enter the total
qualied expenses paid to all institutions during 2017 for that
student on one line.
Instructions for Form IT-203-D, Nonresident and Part-Year Resident
Itemized Deduction Schedule
General information
The starting point in computing your New York itemized deduction
amount is your federal itemized deductions from federal
Schedule A. However, differences between federal and New York
State tax laws make it necessary to make certain adjustments
to your federal itemized deductions in computing your New York
itemized deduction.
The subtraction adjustments on line 9 reect the fact that New
York does not allow certain federal itemized deductions such as
the federal deduction for state and local income taxes (or general
sales tax, if applicable). Because of limits on certain federal
deductions, and the overall limit on federal itemized deductions
applicable to higher income taxpayers, it may be necessary
for you to complete one or more worksheets to determine the
amount of the New York subtraction adjustment.
The addition adjustments on lines 11 and 12 reect the fact that
New York allows certain deductions that are not allowed for
federal purposes such as expenses for qualied college tuition
expenses and expenses related to income that is exempt from
federal tax but subject to New York tax.
Also, further adjustments may be required if you are subject to
the New York itemized deduction adjustment for higher income
taxpayers (line 14).
Before you begin, locate your federal Schedule A, and, if
you were required to complete it, the federal itemized
deduction worksheet in the instructions for Form 1040.
Line instructions
Lines 1 through 8
Enter the amounts from the designated lines of your federal
Schedule A (Form 1040).
Line 9 – Subtraction adjustments A through F
To compute your New York itemized deduction, you must subtract
certain amounts deducted on your federal return that cannot be
deducted on your state return. Follow these steps:
1) Add the amounts of the adjustments described in items A
through F. If this total includes any of the adjustments
described in items B through F, list them on a separate piece
of paper marked itemized deduction schedule - subtraction
adjustments. Identify the amount of each adjustment by letter
(B through F) and submit that paper with your Form IT‑203‑D.

connection with income, or property held for the production
of income, which is exempt from New York income tax
but only to the extent included in total federal itemized

federal S corporation that is a New York S corporation, or if you
were not eligible to make the election to treat your corporation as
a New York S corporation because the corporation is not subject
to Article 9‑A, general business corporation franchise tax, include
on line 9 subtractions B, C, D, and F described above that apply
to your pro rata share of S corporation items of income, loss
or, deduction. If the election to be a New York S corporation
terminated during the tax year, you must allocate those items.
Obtain your share of S corporation items from the S corporation.
If you are a shareholder of a federal S corporation that could,
but did not, elect to be a New York S corporation, include
subtraction E only.

Denitions used to determine resident,
nonresident, or part-year resident
You may have to pay income tax as a New York State resident
even if you are not considered a resident for other purposes. For
income tax purposes, your resident status depends on where you
were domiciled and where you maintained a permanent place of
abode during the tax year.
Domicile
In general, your domicile is the place you intend to have as
your permanent home. Your domicile is, in effect, where your
permanent home is located. It is the place you intend to return to
after being away (as on vacation abroad, business assignment,
educational leave, or military assignment).
You can have only one domicile. Your New York domicile does
not change until you can demonstrate that you have abandoned
your New York domicile and established a new permanent
domicile outside New York State.
A change of domicile must be clear and convincing. Easily
controlled factors such as where you vote, where your drivers
license and registration are issued, or where your will is located
are not primary factors in establishing domicile. To determine
whether you have, in fact, changed your domicile, you should
compare (1) the size, value, and nature of use of your rst
residence to the size, value, and nature of use of your newly
acquired residence; (2) your employment and/or business
connections in both locations; (3) the amount of time spent
in both locations; (4) the physical location of items that have
signicant sentimental value to you in both locations; and (5) your
close family ties in both locations. A change of domicile is clear
and convincing only when your primary ties are clearly greater in
the new location. When weighing your primary ties, keep in mind
that some may weigh more heavily than others, depending upon
your overall lifestyle. If required by the Tax Department, it is the
taxpayers responsibility to produce documentation showing the
necessary intention to effect a change of domicile.
If you move to a new location but intend to stay there only for
a limited amount of time (no matter how long), your domicile
does not change. For example, Mr. Green of ABC Electronics in
Newburgh, New York, was temporarily assigned to the Atlanta,
Georgia branch ofce for two years. After his stay in Atlanta,
he returned to his job in New York. His domicile did not change
during his stay in Georgia; it remained New York State.
If your domicile is in New York State and you go to a foreign
country because of a business assignment by your employer,
or for study, research or any other purpose, your domicile does
not change unless you show that you denitely do not intend to
return to New York.
Permanent place of abode
In general, a permanent place of abode is a residence (a building
or structure where a person can live) that you permanently
maintain, whether you own it or not, that is suitable for year‑round
use. A permanent place of abode usually includes a residence
your spouse owns or leases. For additional information, visit our
website.
However, a residence maintained by a full‑time student enrolled
at an institution of higher education in an undergraduate degree
program leading to a baccalaureate degree and occupied by the
student while attending the institution is not a permanent place
of abode with respect to that student. For additional information,
see TSB‑M‑09(15)I, Amendment to the Denition of Permanent
Place of Abode in the Personal Income Tax Regulations Relating
to Certain Undergraduate Students.
Note: Special rules apply to military personnel and their spouses;
see Publication 361, New York State Income Tax Information For
Military Personnel and Veterans.
Resident
You are a New York State resident for income tax purposes if:
Your domicile is not New York State but you maintain a
permanent place of abode in New York State for more than
11 months of the year and spend 184 days or more (any part
of a day is a day for this purpose) in New York State during the
tax year. (In this instance, you must le Form IT-201, Resident
Income Tax Return.)
Note: If you maintain a permanent place of abode in New York
State but are claiming to be a nonresident for tax purposes,
you must be able to provide adequate records to substantiate
that you did not spend more than 183 days of the tax year in
New York State.
However, if you are a member of the armed forces, and your
domicile is not New York State, you are not a resident under
this denition. Also, if you are a military spouse domiciled in
another state, but located in New York State solely to be with
your spouse (who is a member of the armed services present
in New York State in compliance with military orders), you
are not considered a resident under this denition. For more
information, see TSB‑M‑10(1)I, Military Spouses Residency
Relief Act; or
Your domicile is New York State. However, even if your
domicile is New York, you are not a resident if you meet all
three of the conditions in either Group A or Group B as follows:
Group A
1) You did not maintain any permanent place of abode in
New York State during the tax year; and
2) You maintained a permanent place of abode outside
New York State during the entire tax year; and
3) You spent 30 days or less (any part of a day is a day
for this purpose) in New York State during the tax year.
Group B
1) You were in a foreign country for at least 450 days (any
part of a day is a day for this purpose) during any period
of 548 consecutive days; and
2) You, your spouse (unless legally separated), and minor
children spent 90 days or less (any part of a day is a
day for this purpose) in New York State during this
548‑day period; and
3) During the nonresident portion of the tax year in
which the 548‑day period begins, and during the
nonresident portion of the tax year in which the
548‑day period ends, you were present in New York
State for no more than the number of days which bears
the same ratio to 90 as the number of days in such
portion of the tax year bears to 548. The following
formula illustrates this condition:
Number of days in the Maximum number
nonresident portion × 90 = of days allowed
548 in New York State

48 2017 IT-203-I, Additional information Access our website at www.tax.ny.gov
Nonresident
You are a New York State nonresident if you were not a resident
of New York State for any part of the year.
Part-year resident
You are a New York State part‑year resident if you meet the
denition of resident or nonresident for only part of the year.
New York City and Yonkers
For the denition of a New York City or Yonkers resident,
nonresident, and part-year resident, see the denitions of a
New York State resident, nonresident, and part‑year resident, and
substitute New York City or Yonkers in place of New York State.
Special accruals for full-year nonresidents
You are subject to special accrual rules in computing your
New York State personal income tax for 2017 if you meet the
following criteria:
you were a resident of New York State on December 31, 2016,
or you became a resident of New York State on January 1,
2018, and
you had accrued income (see below) for 2017.
You have accrued income for 2017 if either of the following
apply:
you have an item of income that was xed and determinable
in a tax year prior to 2017, but you are reporting that income
for federal income tax purposes in tax year 2017; or
you have an item of income from a non‑New York source
that was xed and determinable in tax year 2017, but
you will be reporting that income for federal income tax
purposes in a tax year after 2017.
Income from a non-New York source is income that is not
attributable to (1) a business, trade, profession, or occupation
carried on in New York State, or (2) the ownership of any interest
in real or tangible personal property in New York State.
If you are subject to the special accrual rules, see the instructions
for Form IT-225, addition modication number A-115 and
subtraction modication number S-129.
Special accruals for part-year residents
Income accrues to you as a taxpayer when the amount of income
becomes xed and determinable and you have an unrestricted
right to receive it.
An accrued expense is a cost that has been incurred but not yet
paid.
If you are an individual moving out of New York State, accrued
income is income you earned during your New York State
resident period but did not receive until after you became a
nonresident of New York State.
If you moved out of New York State, you must accrue any item of
income, gain, loss, or deduction that, under an accrual method
of accounting, would be reportable at the time you changed your
residence. This includes income or gain you elected to report
on the installment basis. You must also include the total taxable
amount of lump‑sum distributions subject to the separate tax on
lump‑sum distributions (Form IT‑230).
If you are an individual moving into New York State, accrued
income is income you earned from a non‑New York State source
during your nonresident period but received after you became a
New York State resident.
If you became a resident of New York State during the tax year,
you must accrue any item of income, gain, loss, or deduction
that, under an accrual method of accounting, would be reportable
at the time you changed your residence. However, no accrual is
required or allowed for items of income, gain, loss, or deduction
derived from or connected with New York State sources.
For any subsequent tax year, any item of income, gain, loss, or
deduction accrued up to the time you changed your residence
must be excluded in determining your New York source income,
New York adjusted gross income, or total taxable amount of
lump‑sum distributions.
If you are subject to the special accrual rules, see the instructions
for Form IT-225, addition modication number A-115 and
subtraction modication number S-129.
Estates and trusts
Estates and trusts are subject to the New York State personal
income tax. The duciary for an estate or trust must le
Form IT‑205, Fiduciary Income Tax Return. Each nonresident and
part-year resident beneciary of an estate or trust must include
his or her share of the estate or trust income, if any portion of
that income is derived from or connected with New York sources,
on Form IT‑203. For more information on responsibilities of
beneciaries, see Beneciaries (estates and trusts) on page 25.
Deceased taxpayers
If a taxpayer died after 2016 and before ling a return for 2017,
the taxpayers spouse or personal representative may have to
le and sign a return for that taxpayer. A personal representative
can be an executor, administrator or anyone who is in charge
of the deceased taxpayers property. If a taxpayer did not have
to le a federal return but had New York State tax withheld, a
New York return must be led to get a refund. If a joint federal
income tax return was led for the deceased taxpayer and the
surviving spouse, a joint New York State return can be led on
Form IT‑203. Write Filing as surviving spouse in the area
where you sign the return. If someone else is the personal
representative for the deceased spouse, he or she must also
sign the return. The person who les the return for the deceased
taxpayer should write the deceased taxpayers date of death in
the area indicated near the top of the return.
Partnerships/limited liability partnerships or
companies
Partnerships, limited liability partnerships (LLPs) and limited
liability companies (LLCs), limited liability investment companies
(LLICs) and limited liability trust companies (LLTCs) that are
treated as partnerships for federal purposes are not subject to
the New York State personal income tax, but individual partners
(members) of the partnerships are.
If your partnership has a partner who is a New York State
resident, or if the partnership has any income from
New York State sources, it must le Form IT-204, Partnership
Return. If your partnership carried on a business in New York
City, it may also have to le New York City’s Form NYC-204,
Unincorporated Business Tax Return for Partnerships (including
Limited Liability Companies). Since New York State does not
administer the New York City unincorporated business tax, do not
le your Form NYC-204 with your state return.
Innocent spouse relief
There are three forms of innocent spouse relief: innocent
spouse, separation of liability, and equitable relief. You may
qualify for relief from full or partial tax liability on a joint return
as an innocent spouse if: (1) there is an understatement of
tax on a joint return because of an omission or error involving
income, deduction, credit, or basis; (2) you can show that when
Access our website at www.tax.ny.gov 2017 IT-203-I, Additional information 49
you signed the return you did not know and had no reason to
know of the understatement; and (3) taking into account all the
facts and circumstances, it would be unfair to hold you liable
for the understated tax. You may also request a separation of
liability for any understated tax on a joint return if you and your
spouse or former spouse are no longer married, or are legally
separated, or have lived apart at all times during the 12‑month
period prior to the date of ling for relief. If you do not qualify as
an innocent spouse or for separation of liability, you may qualify
for equitable relief if you can show that, taking into account
all the facts and circumstances, you should not be held liable
for any understatement or underpayment of tax. For more
information, see Form IT‑285, Request for Innocent Spouse
Relief (and Separation of Liability and Equitable Relief). You may
use Form IT‑285 only for innocent spouse relief under the three
circumstances. Do not le Form IT-285 with your return.
If you want to disclaim your spouse’s defaulted governmental
education, state university, or city university loan or past‑due
support or past‑due legally enforceable debt owed to a New
York State agency or a New York City tax warrant judgement
debt because you do not want to apply your part of a joint refund
or refundable credit to a debt owed solely by your spouse,
use Form IT‑280, Nonobligated Spouse Allocation. You must
complete Form IT‑280 and submit it with your original return
when led. See Disclaiming of spouse’s debt on page 36.
Members of the armed forces
If you are a New York State nonresident, your military pay is not
subject to New York State tax and cannot be used to determine
the amount of New York State personal income tax you must pay
(see the instructions for Form IT-225, subtraction modication
number S‑119). However, although a military spouse’s income
is generally not considered to be New York source income (see
Nonresidents – New York source income), the military spouse’s
income is used to determine the amount of New York State
personal income tax you must pay (the income is included in the
Federal amount column). Any other income that you receive from
New York State sources while you are a nonresident may be
subject to tax. If you have a civilian job in New York State during
your off‑duty hours, the income you receive is subject to income
tax. Income or gain from property located in New York State, or
from a business, trade, or profession carried on in this state is
also subject to tax.
In addition, if you are a part‑year New York State resident,
certain combat pay that you received during your resident period
may not be subject to tax (see the instructions for Form IT‑225,
subtraction modication number S-118).
For more information, see Publication 361, New York State
Income Tax Information for Military Personnel and Veterans.
Exclusion of, or deduction from, foreign
earned income
If you are entitled to claim a federal exclusion of, or deduction
from, your foreign earned income (as stated under section 911
of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC)), you are also allowed to
claim it on your New York State income tax return in the Federal
amount column. You would also be allowed to claim that portion
of the federal exclusion of, or deduction from, foreign earned
income in the New York State amount column to the extent
it relates to income reported in the New York State amount
column. If you claim either the exclusion or the deduction, submit
a copy of your federal Form 2555, Foreign Earned Income, or
Form 2555‑EZ, Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, with your New
York State income tax return.
If you have not yet qualied for the exclusion or deduction but
you have led a federal return, you must also le a New York
State return. You should report all income, including income
earned in any foreign country, reported on your federal return.
If you later qualify for an exclusion or deduction, you can le an
amended return on Form IT-203-X, Amended Nonresident and
Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return (see Other forms you may
have to le). Submit a copy of federal Form 2555 or 2555‑EZ with
your Form IT-203-X.
U.S. nonresident aliens
If you are a U.S. nonresident alien for federal income tax
purposes and are required to le federal Form 1040NR,
U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return, or federal
Form 1040NR‑EZ, U.S. Income Tax Return for Certain
Nonresident Aliens with No Dependents, you may be required
to le a New York State nonresident return, Form IT-203. See
New York State nonresidents and part-year residents beginning
on page 6.
If you must le a New York return and you checked ling status
box 3, 4, or 5 on federal Form 1040NR, or box 2 on federal
Form 1040NR‑EZ, you must compute your New York State tax
as married ling separately and mark an X in box 3 at item A on
your Form IT‑203. It is important to note that some income items
and line references used on Form IT‑203 do not correspond
with those shown on federal Form 1040NR or 1040NR‑EZ. For
example, line 12 of federal Form 1040NR or line 5 of federal
Form 1040NR‑EZ is used to report income from scholarships and
fellowships. Since there is no corresponding line on the New York
State nonresident return, report this income as other income on
line 16 of Form IT‑203.
Also, if you led federal Form 1040NR you should claim the New
York deduction (itemized or standard) that is more advantageous
to you.
New York State net operating loss
Nonresident
The New York State net operating loss (NOL) to be included
in the New York State amount column of a nonresident’s
Form IT‑203 must be computed in the same manner as the
corresponding federal deduction, but using only New York State
items of income, gain, loss, and deduction in the computation.
New York State modications are not included in the computation
of the NOL or in determining the amount of loss to be used in the
carryback or carryover year.
It is possible, because of the above rules, for a nonresident to
have a New York State NOL without having a federal NOL, or
to have a New York State NOL that is larger or smaller than the
corresponding federal NOL. A nonresident individual claiming a
NOL for New York State purposes but not for federal income tax
purposes must le Form IT-203.
Part-year resident
A part‑year resident of New York State who incurs losses in the
resident or nonresident period, or both, must make a separate
NOL computation for each period (resident and nonresident),
using only those items of income, gain, loss, or deduction
attributable to each period. For the resident period, compute the
NOL using only those items of income, gain, loss, and deduction
that would have been reported if a separate federal return
was led for the period of New York State residence. For the
nonresident period, compute the NOL using the above rules for
nonresidents.
To report an NOL on Form IT-203, see the instructions for
line 16, Other income, on page 23 and addition modication
number A‑215 in the instructions for Form IT‑225.
50 2017 IT-203-I, Additional information Access our website at www.tax.ny.gov
File Form IT-203-X to claim a personal income tax refund based
upon an NOL carryback. File Form IT-201-X to claim a refund
based upon a federal NOL carryback to a tax year when you
were a full‑year New York State resident.
For more information on claiming a personal income tax refund
based upon an NOL, see the instructions for Form IT-203-X or
Form IT-201-X.
Stock options
If, as a New York State nonresident or part‑year resident,
you received stock options and the options you received are
attributable to services performed in New York State, some or all
of the federal income related to the options may be included in
New York source income.
To determine the amount of federal income related to the options
that must be included in New York source income, you should
maintain records and documentation of your services performed
in New York State. For additional information, see Form IT‑203‑F
and its instructions.
Keep a copy of your tax records
Please remember to keep a copy of your completed income
tax return. Also keep copies of any books, records, schedules,
statements, or other related documents.
The Tax Department may ask you to provide copies of these
records after you have led your income tax returns.
You should retain copies of your return for at least seven years
after you le your return.
Amending your return
Generally, an amended return claiming credit for, or a refund
of, an overpayment must be led within three years of the date
that the original return was led, or within two years of the date
that the tax was paid, whichever is later. However, if you le an
amended federal return, you must also le an amended New York
State return within 90 days from the date you amend your federal
return.
You must le an amended return to correct any error on your
original state return and to report changes made on your federal
return by the IRS. You must report such changes to the New
York State Tax Department within 90 days from the date the IRS
makes its nal determination.
Use Form IT-203-X if your original return was Form IT-203. Also
use Form IT-203-X if you mistakenly led Form IT-201, but you
were a nonresident or part-year resident. Use Form IT-201-X
if you mistakenly led Form IT-203, but you were a full-year
resident.
In addition, you must use Form IT-203-X to le a protective claim
or to report a net operating loss (NOL) carryback.
Paid preparer information
For information relating to the Tax Preparer Registration Program,
the signing of returns by a paid preparer (anyone you pay to
prepare your return), e-le mandate for paid preparers, and other
requirements relating to paid preparers, see Publication 58,
Information for Income Tax Return Preparers, and our website.
Access our website at www.tax.ny.gov 2017 IT-203-I, School districts and code numbers 51
If you were a part-year resident of New York State, use this list to nd
the name and code number of the public school district located in the
county where you were last a New York State resident. (If you were also
a part-year resident of New York City, look for your listing after Nassau
County.) Enter the school district name and code number at the top of the
front of your return in the boxes provided. If you do not know the name of
your school district, contact the nearest public school to your New York
State home.
You must enter your school district and code number even if you were
absent temporarily, if the school your children attended was not in your
school district, or if you had no children attending school. School aid may be
affected if your school district or code number is not correct.
