I live in Westchester County, but work in New York City three days a week. Will I be taxed the New York City tax on my bi-weekly paychecks?

As a non-resident of New York City and a resident of Westchester County, you shouldn't be subject to the New York City personal income tax on your bi-weekly paychecks. Nonresidents of New York City are not liable for New York City personal income tax.

However, if you work for the directly for the City of New York, you will need to file Form NYC-1127 and pay taxes.
- This form calculates the City waiver liability, which is the amount due as if the filer were a resident of NYC.
- Please go to e-Services to file Form NYC-1127 online. You will need to register and set up an account. Alternatively, you may mail your Form NYC-1127. return to the address at this link.

Steps to Ensure Correct Withholding:

Make sure Your Address: Ensure your correct county and address are listed on the New York State IT-2104 withholding form submitted to your employer.
Check Your Pay Stub: Regularly check your pay stub to ensure NYC tax is not being incorrectly withheld.

Thanks for answering my question. I do not work for the city of New York. I only work IN the city.

Since you work in New York City but don't work for the City itself, you won't need to file Form NYC-1127.
