I know a couple people that spend a decent amount of time in NY. One is a CEO and she documents everything as to her location as NY came after her for taxes two years ago and she proved they had no claim.
My experience with NY was when I stopped working in Manhattan as NJ resident. 3 years went by and they came after me for owed. taxes for 97. We calculated it again, I owed about $50. We paid it. Some months later, I got the same notice for 98. I owed about $35 and we paid it. Some months later I got the notice for 99. The difference was in 99, I worked 9 months in NY. We calculated it out, they owed me about $75. We filed, got a notice that it was beyond that statute of limitation for refunds and they owed me nothing.
My takeaway from that, to steal a description from Matt Taibbi, is that NY is a vampire squid jamming it's blood funnel into anything that smells like money.
Now that I'm full time in FL, we're being careful not to trigger the same for NJ. They will stick their hand in my pocket if they can get away with it.
