New York 2010: Nonresident return and other income allocation

You may be affected if ALL of the following are true:

1. You filed a 2010 New York nonresident tax return prior to May 10, 2011 AND
2. Your federal return included an “other income” amount (see Form 1040, line 21) AND
3. You indicated that the “other income” was derived from New York sources, therefore taxable to New York state AND
4. The “other income” amount was not included on your New York Form IT-203 (Nonresident and Part-Year Income Tax Return), line 15 “Other Income” in the second column titled New York State Amount.

If you are affected, you may have underpaid your New York tax. You will need to amend your New York tax return.
