Whether New York can tax you as a resident under the two-prong statutory test — the abode gate people miss, plus the 183-day count where any part of a day counts. For taxpayers NOT domiciled in New York: applies the deterministic statutory-residence test of NY Tax Law §605(b)(1)(B) — a permanent place of abode maintained for substantially all of the year AND more than 183 days of presence — plus the separate New York City test. General AI compresses this to "183 days = resident" and misses both gates: without a permanent place of abode, 300 days in NY doesn't make you a statutory resident, and with one, day 184 does — where a 20-minute stop in the state counts as a full day. Domicile (whether New York is your true home) is a separate facts-and-circumstances battle this tool does not decide.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| abode | string | no | Do you maintain a dwelling in New York? The trap: people count days but don't know that a NYC crash pad, a company apartment principally available to you, or even a sublet counts as a "permanent place of abode". Vacation homes are generally not one (Obus, 2022); undergraduate apartments are disregarded by policy. |
| abodeMonths | number | no | Months of the year the dwelling was maintained "Substantially all of the year" means MORE than 10 months (Audit Division policy for tax years 2022+; it was 11 before). This matters mainly in years you acquire or dispose of the home — renting it out briefly mid-ownership does NOT break continuity. |
| daysNY | number | no | Days with any presence in New York State Any part of a day = a full day. Only two exceptions: pure travel-through (boarding a flight or train out, driving through) and inpatient medical confinement. Outpatient visits and "just dinner in the city" days COUNT. |
| daysNYC | number | no | Of those, days with any presence in the five boroughs For the separate New York City resident test. Leave 0 if NYC doesn't apply to you. |
| abodeInNYC | string | no | Is the dwelling in New York City? Drives the separate city test. NYC levies its own resident income tax on top of the state's. |
| armedForces | string | no | Active-duty US armed forces? Active-duty members of the US armed forces are statutorily excluded from the day-count prong. |
