New York tax overview

What to know about taxes in New York

New York taxes personal income, and state returns are filed with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. Planning has to account for both federal and New York rules. New York City and Yonkers levy their own income taxes on top of New York State tax, so where you live and work inside the state matters.

Whether you are filing a personal return, running a growing company or answering a letter from the IRS or the state, we pair you with an advisor who works through New York returns every season.

Questions

New York tax FAQs

11 answers about taxes in New York.

Do you prepare New York state tax returns?

Yes. We prepare resident, part-year and nonresident New York returns and file them with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, together with your federal return.

When are New York individual returns due?

Many states follow the federal April 15 deadline, but some set their own dates. We track the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance deadlines for you and file extensions when they are needed.

Are there local income taxes in New York?

Yes, some local governments in New York levy income, wage or earnings taxes that depend on where you live and work. We check which apply to you and include them in your filings.

Does New York have a sales tax?

Yes. New York charges sales tax, and local rates can add to the state rate. We help New York businesses register, collect the right rate and file returns with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance.

What payroll registrations does a New York employer need?

Employers generally register with New York for unemployment insurance and state income tax withholding, plus any other state payroll programs that apply. We handle the registrations and the ongoing filings.

Do I need to make New York estimated tax payments?

If you have income without enough withholding, such as self-employment or investment income, New York generally expects estimated payments during the year, with its own thresholds and due dates. We calculate federal and state payments together.

How are LLCs and corporations taxed in New York?

New York applies its own rules to LLCs, S corporations and C corporations, and in some cases charges franchise, gross receipts or minimum taxes regardless of profit. We review how your entity is treated in New York before you form it or make an election.

I moved into or out of New York. What do I file?

Usually a part-year return for each state you lived in during the year, with credits so the same income is not taxed twice. Our multi-state filing service handles this.

Can you represent me with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance?

Yes. In addition to IRS matters, we respond to notices and audits from the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance when you authorize us to.

Can a New York business work with BATS remotely?

Yes. We work with New York businesses through video meetings, secure document upload and cloud accounting software, so there is no need to visit an office.
