How do you calculate NYS income tax?

Answer by  Cecilia (2828)

Each state has its own forms, so the simplest way would be to look online for your state's website and then search for Department of Revenue. There may be instruction booklets available as well. If you are actually in New York you could try your local library. Ours has forms and booklets available to copy. Good Luck.

To figure this out, you must use the tax table for the year you are filing your state taxes. Figure out your NY State taxable income and determine your filing status. The amount shown where the taxable income line and the filing status column meet determines the correct tax.

You basically only pay 4% if you earn less than 8000 dollars a year. If you earn more than you pay 4.5%. You pay 6.85% of taxes if you earn 20 to 100 grand a year.
