2024 New York Form 201

What Is New York Form IT-201?

New York IT-201 is the form used by full-year residents to file their state income tax return. The purpose of Form IT-201 is to determine your tax liability for the state of New York. Nonresident and part-year resident filers will complete New York Form IT-203 instead.

Read the New York nonresidents and part-year residents section of the IT-201 instructions book to help determine if you should file as a resident, part-year resident, or nonresident for tax year 2024.

Who Must File New York Form IT-201?

You must file a New York tax return if you were required to file a federal income tax return. There is also a gross income test for those who were not required to file a federal income tax return. For most residents, you must file a New York state return if your 2024 gross income is more than $4,000. If you are single and can be claimed as a dependent, the gross income test amount is lower at $3,100.

Gross income generally means all income before deducting expenses that are reportable to the state of New York. Even if your gross income is below the amount specified, you may still want to file a New York tax return. For example, you may receive a refund for the state tax amount shown on your New York W-2. You may also be eligible for the New York State Earned Income Credit (EIC), Empire State child credit, and other dependent care credits.

Read the Who Must File section of the New York IT-201 instructions book to help determine if you should file a state income tax return for tax year 2024.
