State tax overview
New York combines a top state income tax rate of 10.9% with NYC's local personal income tax adding up to 3.876%. The state's convenience-of-the-employer rule makes remote-work taxation complex for nonresidents. Pass-through entity tax elections (PTET) are widely used to work around federal SALT caps.
Tax rates and rules change frequently. Verify current figures with a licensed professional before acting.
