New York Income Tax Withholding

New York requires employers to withhold state income tax from their employees' wages and remit the amounts withheld to the Department of Taxation and Finance.

All employers paying wages subject to New York's income tax law must withhold from all payments of taxable wages paid to residents regardless of where their services are performed, and from payments of taxable wages paid to nonresidents for services performed within the state.

New York Benefits
