Yonkers income tax: what workers need to know
Who owes it, working from home, refunds and filing in Yonkers. Each rule links to the official source. Checked Oct 25, 2026.
| Topic | The rule | Official source |
|---|---|---|
| Who owes it | Yonkers residents pay the resident surcharge. People who live outside Yonkers pay the nonresident earnings tax on wages earned, or business carried on, in Yonkers if they also have to file a New York State return. | NYS Tax Department, New York City, Yonkers, and MCTMT |
| Working from home | If your assigned office is in Yonkers, a normal workday at home counts as a Yonkers workday unless your home office is a bona fide employer office. Nonresidents allocate workdays on Schedule A of Form Y-203. | NYS Tax Department, Form Y-203 instructions |
| Getting a refund | Form Y-203 cannot claim a refund. Any refund of Yonkers tax overwithheld from your pay comes through your New York State return, Form IT-201 or IT-203, with Form Y-203 attached if you are a nonresident. | NYS Tax Department, Form Y-203 instructions |
| Annual return | Residents report the surcharge on Form IT-201. Nonresidents file Form Y-203 with their state return, unless they need no state return, had only wages, and earned $3,000 or less or had one employer withhold correctly. | NYS Tax Department, Form Y-203 instructions |
| Employer withholding | Employers withhold Yonkers tax from residents even when they work outside Yonkers. For nonresidents, they withhold only on wages for work done in Yonkers. | NYS Tax Department, Withholding tax requirements |
| Where to file | New York State's Department of Taxation and Finance handles Yonkers tax on the state return. Residents use Form IT-201. Nonresidents attach Form Y-203 to their state return. You can file and pay through e-file software or your Online Services account at tax.ny.gov. | NYS Tax Department, Form Y-203 instructions |
| Married nonresidents file separately | Married nonresidents cannot file a joint Form Y-203. If both spouses had Yonkers earnings, each completes their own Form Y-203, and a joint state return shows the combined total. | NYS Tax Department, Form Y-203 instructions |
| Nonresident exclusion | Nonresidents subtract an allowable exclusion from the Yonkers wages and self-employment earnings they allocate to the city. The amount comes from the exclusion table on the front of Form Y-203, and part-year filers get a prorated amount. | NYS Tax Department, Form Y-203 instructions |
Yonkers and New York paycheck questions
I work in Yonkers but live elsewhere. Do I have to file a Yonkers return?
Usually yes. If you must file a New York State return, you file Form Y-203 with it. You can skip it only if you need no state return, your only Yonkers income was wages, and either your Yonkers wages were $3,000 or less or your one employer withheld the correct tax.
Does working from home reduce my Yonkers nonresident tax?
Only in some cases. If your assigned office is in Yonkers, normal workdays at home still count as Yonkers days unless your home office is a bona fide employer office. If your assigned office is outside Yonkers, normal workdays at home count as days outside Yonkers.
How do I get back Yonkers tax that was overwithheld?
File your New York State return, Form IT-201 or IT-203. If you are a nonresident, attach Form Y-203. The refund comes through the state return, because Form Y-203 itself cannot be used to claim a refund.
Do Yonkers residents who work outside Yonkers still pay the surcharge?
Yes. Employers withhold Yonkers tax from residents even when they work outside Yonkers. Residents report the resident income tax surcharge on Form IT-201, the New York State resident return.
How much New York income tax comes out of my paycheck?
New York State uses graduated withholding tables after subtracting a deduction and your IT-2104 allowances. New York City and Yonkers residents also pay city tax. Show the math lists every step.
Why does the calculator ask about Form IT-2104?
Your employer withholds New York tax based on the Form IT-2104 you filled in, which is separate from your federal Form W-4. If you never filled one in, employers usually withhold as single with no allowances.
Do I pay New York City tax if I work in NYC but live elsewhere?
No. New York City income tax is withheld only from NYC residents. Pick where you live in the calculator.
What is the NY disability (DBL) deduction?
Employers may take 0.5% of wages, but no more than $0.60 a week, toward New York's disability benefits.
What is the NY Paid Family Leave deduction?
A premium for New York's paid family leave program: 0.432% of gross wages, up to $411.91 a year in 2026.
Why is my first paycheck in January different?
New federal withholding tables and a new Social Security cap start on January 1. Pick a 2027 pay date in the calculator to see the change.
Why did my paycheck get bigger late in the year?
Social Security stops once your pay for the year reaches $184,500. Enter your pay so far this year to see when that happens.
How much is $70,000 a year after taxes in Yonkers?
About $53,987.70 a year, or $2,076.45 every two weeks, for a single filer with no pre-tax deductions in 2026. That is after federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, New York State and Yonkers tax, NY disability insurance (DBL) and NY Paid Family Leave.
