Yonkers Income Tax Is Not Just for Residents

A Westchester move or job change can create a Yonkers tax question. Yonkers residents file the Yonkers resident income tax surcharge with their state return. A nonresident must file Form Y-203 if they are not a Yonkers resident, earned wages or carried on a trade or business in Yonkers, and are required to file a New York State income tax return. The Y-203 instructions add that spouses who are both subject to the Yonkers nonresident earnings tax each file a separate Form Y-203.

Before filing, keep the home address, dates of residence, Yonkers work location, wages or business income, withholding, state-return requirement, and Form Y-203 information together. Spouses who are both subject to the nonresident earnings tax should each keep a separate Form Y-203.
