ALERT: There is an error in this webinar regarding Line 24 of NYS IT-203. The correct information is that Line 24 (and Line 4) of IT-203 “federal amount” column should indicate any refund amount (whether from New York State or any other state) that appears on line 4 of federal form 1040NR EZ completed by CINTAX. It is on line 4 and 24 of the “New York State amount” column where you will show any New York state tax refunds from 2006.
ADVISORY: If your New York State standard deduction as entered on NYS IT-203 line 33 is greater than your adjusted gross income on line 32, then leave line 34 blank. Lines 36 and 37 will then be “0” (for zero). NYS tax on zero income will also be “0” (line 38). You will not need to compute the household credit on line 39. Continue to leave lines blank until line 45. Then proceed as instructed in the webinar.
