General information
Up-to-date information affecting your tax return
For tax law changes or forms corrections that occurred after the forms and instructions were finalized, see Personal income tax
up-to-date information.

What’s new for 2023
For a detailed list of what’s new, including a summary of tax law changes, see New for 2023 or visit our website
at www.tax.ny.gov (search: 2023).

File electronically
Electronic preparation (e-file) is fast, easy, and secure. You may even qualify for free filing options. For all your e-file options, see Filing
Season Resource Center.
For the fastest processing of your refund, combine e-file with direct deposit. You can receive your New York State tax refund up to two
weeks sooner than if you filed by paper and requested a paper check.
User-friendly e-file software ensures you file all the right forms and do not miss out on valuable credits.

E-file information
Using software?
You must e-file if your software allows you to e-file your return, or if you are a tax preparer who is subject to the e-file mandate. E-file is
easy, safe, and allows you to get your refund faster. Most New York taxpayers e-file.

Make a payment
Pay a balance due by authorizing the Tax Department to withdraw the payment from your bank account. Authorize the payment when
you e-file your return or make a return payment after you file your return using our Online Services. You may also pay with a credit
card.
For more information, visit our website at www.tax.ny.gov (search: pay).

Other forms you may need to file
If you do file a paper return, see Income tax full-year resident forms (search: full).
For a complete list of credits, see also Income tax credits (search: credits). Reminder: To claim a tax credit (with the exception of the
household credit and New York City school tax credit), you must complete and submit the appropriate credit form.

Protect yourself from identity theft
Identity theft is the unauthorized use of personal information such as:

•

Social Security number

•

credit card number

Identity thieves can file forged tax returns to collect fraudulent refunds and victims may not be aware their identities have been stolen.
Protect your identity by writing only the last four digits of your Social Security number on any check or money order you send to the Tax
Department. You must include your complete Social Security number on your return and payment voucher. We cannot process these
forms without the complete number.
For more information, or if you think you have been a victim of tax-related identity theft, see Identity theft affecting your tax
records (search: fraud).

File a valid return
If the paper form you are using has a year under the New York State map in the upper-left corner, you can only use that form for that
tax year.
To file a complete return, you must:

•

complete all required schedules and forms that make up your return,

•
•

include all pages of those forms and schedules when you file,
submit only those forms and schedules that apply to your return, and

• confirm you made all required entries.
If you submit your return with missing pages or missing entries, we cannot process it and you may be subject to penalty and interest.

Entering whole dollar amounts
When you enter amounts on your return, enter whole dollar amounts only. This includes amounts on any credit forms, schedules, or
other forms you submit with your New York State return.
Do not enter any cent amounts. We preprinted the zeros in that box. Instead, round cents to the nearest dollar using the following rules:

•

Drop amounts that are less than 50 cents. For example, $1.39 becomes $1.

•

Increase amounts that are 50 cents or more to the next dollar. For example, $2.50 becomes $3.

•
•

EIC = earned income credit

•

IRS = Internal Revenue Service

•
•

MCTMT = Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Mobility Tax

How to fill in the forms
As you complete your form, follow these guidelines to avoid processing delays:

•
•

Use black ink only (no red or other color ink or pencils) to print or type (if you are using a fill-in form) all entries.

•

Mark an X to fill in boxes as appropriate. Do not use a check mark. Keep your Xs and numerals inside the boxes.

•

Do not write in dollar signs or commas when you enter amounts or numbers.

If you are entering a loss (an amount less than zero), place a minus sign immediately to the left of the loss amount. Do not
use brackets or parentheses.

How to get 1099-G information
If you received an income tax overpayment, including a refund, from us in 2023, you may need information from Tax Department
Form 1099-G, Statement for Recipients of State Income Tax Refunds, to complete your federal return. We do not mail this form. To
view and print a copy, see Get your 1099-G information online (search: 1099-G).
If you received unemployment benefits in 2023, you must report the information from Department of Labor (DOL)
Form 1099-G, Statement for Recipients of Certain Government Payments, on your federal and New York State returns, if required to
file.

•

•

For unemployment compensation or pandemic unemployment benefits, DOL will not mail you Form 1099-G. To access this
form:
1.

Visit the DOL website at https://dol.ny.gov and see 1099-G Tax Form: Information you need for UI income tax filing.

2.

Log in to your NY.gov ID account.

3.

Select Unemployment Services and View/Print 1099-G.

For Excluded Workers Fund (EWF) benefits, DOL will mail you Form 1099-G. Visit the DOL website at https://dol.ny.gov.

New York State full-year residents: Who must file?
You must file a New York State resident return if you meet any of the following conditions:

•

You must file a federal return.

•

You did not have to file a federal return but your federal adjusted gross income for 2023 plus New York additions was more
than $4,000 ($3,100 if you are single and can be claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer’s federal return).

•

You want to claim a refund of any New York State, New York City, or Yonkers income taxes withheld from your pay or from
your unemployment insurance benefit payments.

•

You want to claim any refundable or carryover credits.

If you were a New York State resident for only part of the year, do not file Form IT-201. If you moved into New York State on any day
other than January 1, or moved out of New York State on any day other than December 31, see New York nonresidents and part-year
residents.

Additional notes to all filers
•

Do you have to submit other forms? See Full-year resident forms (Search: full).

•

Do you want to claim tax credits? See Income tax credits to learn about refundable and nonrefundable credits you may qualify
for (Search: credits).

•

Does your child have investment income over $2,500? It would be to your advantage to file a New York State return for your
child to report your child’s investment income, since there will be no New York tax on the first $3,100 of that income. When you
file your federal return, report your child’s investment income on federal Form 8615 (instead of federal Form 8814). If you file
Form 8814, the amount of your child’s investment income over $2,500 that was included in your federal gross income will be
reported on your New York State return and taxed at your rate.

•

Did you file federal Form 1040-SR, U.S. Tax Return for Seniors? As you review your New York State income tax forms and
instructions, read any reference to federal Form 1040 and its schedules as a reference to federal Form 1040-SR.

New York nonresidents and part-year residents
If you were a nonresident or a part-year resident of New York State and you received income from New York sources in 2023, you must
file Form IT-203, Nonresident and Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return. For more information on residency, see Am I considered a
New York State resident for income tax purposes? (search: resident).

Separate returns are required for some married taxpayers who file a joint federal return.
If one of you was a New York State resident and the other was a nonresident or part-year resident, you must each file a separate New
York return. The resident must use Form IT-201. The nonresident or part-year resident, if required to file a New York State return, must
use Form IT-203. However, if you both choose to file a joint New York State return, use Form IT-201 and both spouses’ income will be
taxed as full-year residents of New York State.

Filing information for same-sex married couples
Same-sex married couples have the same state tax benefits and requirements as different-sex married couples filing and paying New
York State personal income tax. In addition, as a result of the Supreme Court’s decision United States v. Windsor, and IRS Revenue
Ruling 2013-17, for federal tax purposes the IRS will recognize a marriage between a same-sex couple that is a legal marriage under
the laws of the jurisdiction (either domestic or foreign) where the marriage was performed. Therefore, you must determine your filing
status using the general married filing status rules (see Item A under Step 2, select your filing status, and complete items B through H).
The term spouse should be read as gender-neutral and includes a person in a marriage with a same-sex spouse. The term marriage
includes a marriage between same-sex spouses.

Step 1: Complete the taxpayer information section

filing status you would have used if you filed.

Exceptions
The only exceptions are for certain married couples filing a joint federal return in the following situations:

•

•

One spouse is a New York State resident and the other is a nonresident or part-year resident. In this case, you must either:

o
o

file separate New York returns using filing status ③; or

file jointly, as if you both were New York State residents, using filing status ②.

You are unable to file a joint New York return because:

o
o
o

the address or whereabouts of your spouse is unknown, and
you can demonstrate that reasonable efforts have been made to locate your spouse, and
good cause exists for the failure to file a joint New York return.
In this case, you may file a separate New York return using filing status ③.

•

You are unable to file a joint New York return because:

o
o

your spouse refuses to sign a joint New York return; and
reasonable efforts have been made to have your spouse sign a joint return; and
6

o

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 file a separate return, or
commencement of an action for divorce or commencement of certain family court proceedings; and
o good cause exists for the failure to file a joint New York return.
In this case, you may file a separate New York return using filing status ③.

Item B

If you itemized your deductions on your 2023 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 taxpayer’s 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 their 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 (Form 1040), Interest and Ordinary Dividends, Part III then mark an X in the Yes box.

Item D2
All IT-201 filers must complete item D2.
If you or your spouse (if married filing jointly) maintained or had use of an apartment or living quarters in Yonkers during any part of
2023 (whether or not you personally used those living quarters for any part of the year), you must mark an X in the Yes box on line
D2(1). Enter in the applicable box the number of months you and your spouse (if filing a joint return) lived in Yonkers during 2023.
Living quarters include a house, apartment, co-op, or any other dwelling that is suitable for year-round use, that you or your spouse
maintain or pay for, or that is maintained for your primary use by another person, family member, or employer.
Example: Company A leases an apartment in Yonkers for the use of one of the company’s officers, and the apartment is mainly
available to that individual. That individual is considered to be maintaining living quarters in Yonkers even though others might use the
apartment on an occasional basis.
Notes:

•

If you marked the Yes box on line D2(1), you may be considered a resident or part-year resident for Yonkers income tax
purposes. The determination of residency is based on the facts and circumstances of your own situation. See Income tax
definitions or visit our website at www.tax.ny.gov (search: resident). If you meet the definition of a Yonkers resident or partyear resident, see line-55: Yonkers resident income tax surcharge or Line 57: Part-year Yonkers resident income tax
surcharge.

All other IT-201 filers must complete item E.
If you or your spouse (if married filing jointly) maintained or had use of an apartment or living quarters in New York City during any part

E(1) and enter the number of days you were in New York City, even if on personal business, on line E(2).
If you are married filing jointly and both spouses spent days in New York City, enter the higher number of days on line E(2).

Living quarters include a house, apartment, co-op, or any other dwelling that is suitable for year-round use, that you or your spouse
maintain or pay for, or that is maintained for your primary use by another person, family member, or employer.
Example: Company A leases an apartment in New York City for the use of one of the company’s officers, and the apartment is mainly
available to that individual. That individual is considered to be maintaining living quarters in New York City even though others might
use the apartment on an occasional basis.
Note: If you marked the Yes box on line E(1) and you spent 184 days or more (any part of a day is a day for this purpose) in New York
City, you may be considered a resident for New York City income tax purposes. The determination of residency is based on the facts
and circumstances of your own situation. See the definitions of Resident, Nonresident, and Part-year resident in these instructions.
If you meet the definition, complete the New York City resident taxes and credits lines (47 through 53, 64, and 69 through 70) on

Step 3: Enter your federal income and adjustments
Lines 1 through 19: Federal income tax return information
The computation of your New York State, New York City, and Yonkers income tax is based on the information you reported on your
federal income tax return, including your income and federal adjustments to income. If you did not file a federal return, you must report
the same income and adjustments that you would have reported for federal income tax purposes if you had filed a federal return.
The amount entered on line 1 (wages, salaries, tips, etc.) should be the same as the amount reported on federal Form 1040, line 1z.
Be sure to enter your total other income on line 16 and your total federal adjustments to income on line 18. Write each type of income
and each adjustment and its amount in the Identify areas on lines 16 and 18. If you need more room, submit a list on a separate sheet
of paper showing each type of income and each adjustment and its amount.
Enter only whole dollar amounts on your New York return.
Do not leave line 19 blank.

Step 4: Calculate your New York additions and subtractions
Overview
The computation of your New York State income tax is based on your New York adjusted gross income. Your New York adjusted gross
income is your federal adjusted gross income after certain New York additions and New York subtractions (modifications).
New York State taxes certain items of income not taxed by the federal government. You must add these New York additions to your
federal adjusted gross income.
Similarly, New York State does not tax certain items of income taxed by the federal government. You must subtract these New York
subtractions from your federal adjusted gross income. See below and Form IT-225, New York State Modifications, and its instructions.

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. The entity should
provide you with this information. For important information regarding these modifications, see the instructions for Form IT-225.
If you have either of the addition or subtraction modifications in the chart, below, relating to your partnership or S corporation income,
include the amount on the corresponding line of Form IT-201.
Modification code

Description

Line number

EA-113

Interest income on state and local bonds and obligations

20

ES-125

Interest income on U.S. government bonds

28

For all other additions and subtractions relating to your partnership and S corporation income, complete Form IT-225.

9

Beneficiaries (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 fiduciary adjustment.

•

If the adjustment is a net addition, enter the amount and addition modification number EA-901 on line 5 of Form IT-225.

•

If the adjustment is a net subtraction, enter the amount and subtraction modification number ES-901 on line 14 of Form IT-225.

When you have completed Form IT-225, transfer the amounts to Form IT-201 as instructed on Form IT-225.
If you filed federal Form 4970, Tax on Accumulation Distribution of Trusts:

•

do not include the income you reported on line 1 of Form 4970 on line 11 of Form IT-201 because the IRC considers the
distribution part of federal gross income.

•

do include on line 5 of your Form IT-225 the amount of income you reported on Form 4970, line 1, after subtracting any
interest income on state and local bonds and obligations of New York State and its local governments that you
included on Form 4970, line 5. See addition modification 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, enter any such interest income that you received or that was credited to you during 2023 that was not included in your
federal adjusted gross income. This includes interest income on:

o
o
o

state and local bonds,
interest and dividend income from tax-exempt bond mutual funds, and
tax-exempt money market funds that invest in 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, after subtracting the
seller’s accrued interest (the amount accrued from the interest date preceding your purchase to the date you purchased the bond). You
should have received this information when 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 sold the bond.
For purposes of this addition, bond premium amortization is not allowed as a direct offset to interest income. You must report it:

•

as a subtraction modification on Form IT-225—if the bond premium is attributable to a trade or business, or

•

as an itemized deduction addition adjustment on Form IT-196, line 44—if the bond premium is not attributable to a trade or
business, but only if you itemize.

Line 21: Public employees 414(h) retirement contributions

Line 22: New York’s 529 college savings program distributions
Did you make a withdrawal (other than a withdrawal to pay the higher education expenses of the designated beneficiary) during 2023
from an account established under New York’s 529 college savings program?

•

If No, go to line 23.

•

If Yes, the withdrawal is a nonqualified withdrawal and you must complete the worksheet below.

A withdrawal is nonqualified if any of the following apply:

•

•

The withdrawal is actually disbursed in cash or in-kind from the college savings program and the funds are not used for the
higher education of the designated beneficiary (even if the amount withdrawn is reinvested in New York’s college savings
program within the IRC 60-day rollover period).
For purposes of the above, higher education generally means public or private, non-profit or proprietary post-secondary
educational institutions, in or outside New York State. Therefore, any withdrawal from a New York 529 college savings
program used to pay tuition in connection with enrollment or attendance at elementary or secondary public, private, or religious
schools, is a nonqualified withdrawal.
The funds are transferred on or after January 1, 2003, from New York’s 529 college savings program to another state’s
program (whether for the same beneficiary or for the benefit of another family member).

However, nonqualified withdrawals do not include any withdrawals made in 2023 as a result of the death or disability of the
designated beneficiary, regardless of how the funds are used. If you have participated in a New York 529 college savings
program, a rollover of some or all its assets, either contributions or earnings, to a qualified Achieving a Better Life Experience
(ABLE) program is not considered a nonqualified withdrawal and requires no addition to your federal adjusted gross income in
computing New York adjusted gross income.
• The withdrawal is used to pay the principal or interest on any qualified education loan [as defined in IRC section 221(d)] of the
designated beneficiary or a sibling of the designated beneficiary.
Note: Transfers between accounts of family members that are not disbursed in cash or in-kind within New York’s program are not
considered distributions and therefore not required to be added back as nonqualified withdrawals.
Note: Before you complete this worksheet, you must first compute your Form IT-201, line 30, subtraction for New York’s 529 college
savings program for 2023.

Line 22 worksheet
1. Total current and prior years’ nonqualified withdrawals from your account(s)

New York subtractions
Line 26: Pensions of New York State and local governments and the federal government
Did you receive a pension or other distribution from a New York State or local government pension plan or federal government pension
plan that was included in your federal adjusted gross income?
11

•
•

If No, go to line 27.
If Yes, enter the amount of any pension you received—or any distributions made to you from a pension plan that represents a
return of contributions in a year prior to retirement—as an officer, employee, or beneficiary of an officer or employee of any of
the following:
o New York State, including State and City University of New York and New York State Education Department
employees who belong to the Optional Retirement Program.

o

Optional Retirement Program members may only subtract that portion attributable to employment with the State or
City University of New York or the New York State 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.
o Local governments within the state (for more details, see Publication 36, General Information for Senior Citizens and
Retired Persons).
o 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.
You may not subtract the following:

•

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.

•

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 29.

Nonemployee spouses
You may include distributions you 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 qualified 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. See Publication 36.

Line 28: 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 29.

•

If Yes, enter the amount of interest income you 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 the qualifying dividends that may be subtracted is
based upon the portion of the taxable income received by the mutual fund that is derived from federal obligations.
Contact the mutual fund for additional information on meeting the 50% asset requirement and computing your allowable subtraction (if
any).
If you include an amount on line 28 from more than one line on Form IT-201, submit a schedule on a separate sheet of paper showing
the breakdown from each line.
Do not list the same interest more than once on lines 28 and 31; see the instructions for Form IT-225, subtraction modification numbers
S-121 and S-123.

Line 29: Pension and annuity income exclusion
Did you enter an amount on line 9 or 10 that was not from a New York State or local government pension plan or federal government
pension plan?

•

If No, go to line 30.

•

If Yes, and you were 59½ before January 1, 2023, enter the qualifying pension and annuity income included in your 2023
federal adjusted gross income, but not more than $20,000.
If you became 59½ during 2023, enter only the amount you 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 beneficiary,
see Married taxpayers or Beneficiaries.

$20,000 limit: You may not take a pension and annuity income exclusion that exceeds $20,000, regardless of the source of the
income.

12

Qualifying pension and annuity income includes the following:
•

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

•
•

periodic distributions from government (IRC section 457) deferred compensation plans

•

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 benefits from a cafeteria plan (IRC section 125) or a qualified cash or deferred profit-sharing or stock
bonus plan [IRC section 401(k)], but not distributions derived from contributions made after you retired

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

Qualifying pension and annuity income does not include:
•

Distributions you received as a nonemployee spouse in accordance with a court-issued qualified 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 you received as a result of an annuity contract purchased with your own funds from an insurance company or
other financial institution. The payments are attributable to premium payments you made using your own funds and are not
attributable to personal services you 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, neither of
you can 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 adjusted gross
income 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 filing 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.

Beneficiaries
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 2023, enter only the
amount received after the decedent would have become 59½, but not more than $20,000.
If any portion of this exclusion was subtracted on the decedent’s personal income tax return, you must first reduce the amount you are
eligible to claim by the same amount subtracted on the decedent’s return. The total pension and annuity income exclusion claimed by
the decedent and the decedent’s beneficiaries cannot exceed $20,000.
If the decedent has more than one beneficiary, the decedent’s $20,000 pension and annuity income exclusion must be allocated among
the beneficiaries. Each beneficiary’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 beneficiary, and whose denominator is the total value inherited by
all beneficiaries of the decedent’s pensions and annuities.
Example: A taxpayer received pension and annuity income totaling $6,000 as a beneficiary of a decedent who was 59½ before
January 1, 2023. The decedent’s total pension and annuity income was $24,000, shared equally among four beneficiaries. Each
beneficiary is entitled to one-quarter of the decedent’s pension exclusion, or $5,000 ($20,000 multiplied by 1/4). The taxpayer also
received a qualifying pension and annuity payment of $14,000 in 2023. The taxpayer is entitled to claim a pension and annuity income
exclusion of $19,000 ($14,000 attributable to the taxpayer’s own pension and annuity payment, plus $5,000 received as a beneficiary*).
*The total amount of the taxpayer’s pension and annuity income exclusion that can be applied against the taxpayer’s pension and
annuity income received as a beneficiary is limited to the taxpayer’s 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.

1.
2.
3.
4.

To find the standard deduction amount for your filing status, use the New York State standard deduction table below.
To compute your New York itemized deduction, use Form IT-196, New York Resident, Nonresident, and Part-Year Resident
Itemized Deductions, and its instructions.
Compare the Form IT-196, line 49 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 34 and mark an X in the appropriate
box, Standard or Itemized.

Notes:

•
•

If you choose the itemized deduction, you must submit Form IT-196 with your return.

•

If you paid qualified college tuition expenses, you may choose to claim either a credit or an itemized deduction.*

If you are married and filing separate returns (filing status ③), both of you must take the standard deduction unless both of
you choose to itemize deductions on your New York returns.

14

*The deduction may offer you a greater tax savings if you itemize deductions on your New York return. Complete Form IT-196 to
determine if your allowable New York itemized deduction, including the college tuition deduction, is greater than your standard
deduction. See College tuition credit or itemized deduction (search: college).

Use these notes for New York City household credit tables 4 through 6
Note 1 For most taxpayers, federal adjusted gross income is the amount from Form IT-201, line 19. However, if on Form IT-201 you
entered special condition code A6 (for Build America Bond interest), your federal adjusted gross income is the line 19 amount minus
any Build America Bond interest that was included in the line 19 amount.
Note 2 This amount could be 0 or a negative amount.
Note 3 For each individual over 7, add the amount in this column to the column 7 amount.
Note 4 For most taxpayers, federal adjusted gross income is the amount from Form IT-201, line 19 (or Form IT-203, line 19, Federal
amount column). However, if on your New York State return(s) you or your spouse entered special condition code A6 (for Build America
Bond interest), federal adjusted gross income is the line 19 amount minus any Build America Bond interest that was included in the line
19 amount. If your spouse was not required to file a New York State return, use your spouse’s federal adjusted gross income as
reported on their federal return (minus any Build America Bond interest included in that amount).
Note 5 The credit amounts have been rounded (see Entering whole dollar amounts).
