The supplemental income tax imposed on high-earning New Yorkers can, in some cases, amount to an almost flat tax on all earnings rather than just a portion of earnings. You can calculate supplemental tax by reviewing the worksheets on the NYS Department of Revenue's website, and good tax software should be able to do the calculations as well.

Do I have to pay New York state income tax?
Generally, you have to file a New York state tax return if:
You’re a New York resident and you’re required to file a federal tax return or your federal gross income plus New York additions was more than $4,000 ($3,100 if you’re single and someone can claim you as a tax dependent).
You’re not a New York resident but got income from a source in New York during the tax year.
If you’re not a resident of New York, but your primary workplace is there, your days telecommuting are still considered days worked in New York unless your employer established an office at your telecommuting location. Generally, you will continue to owe New York state income tax on income earned while telecommuting.

Am I a resident for New York state income tax purposes?

If you're a part-year resident, you are taxed on income received while a resident, plus income from New York sources while a nonresident.
If you're a nonresident, you are taxed on income from New York sources if your adjusted gross income is higher than your New York standard deduction.
