JohnH Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Maybe someone with New York experience can help me out here. A student who is a resident of SC and is still a dependent on his parents' tax return did a summer photography "internship" in New York over a 3-week period. It wasn't academically related, I think the company just used that word to justify not paying him very much for part-time work. They paid him $2,800 as an independent contractor. He incurred about $1,500 of work-related costs in earning the $2,800. So with $2,800 in gross receipts and a net of $1,300 on schedule C, is he required to file a NY return? Did I provide enough info to answer the question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDNY Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 He doesn't have to file as his standard deduction of 3,100 would wipe it out. You helped me yesterday and I could help today, like deja vu all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted April 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Thank you very much. This simplifies things considerably. I think I got the more useful help in this particular trade-off. But there will be other opportunities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDNY Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Very welcome. I have a few clients in NC, I'm putting you on speed dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Jani Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I would still suggest to file 0 return as 1099 will be tracked by NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDNY Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I thought about that too but the gross amount is still under the standard deduction, and it was his only income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up paper filing my Nonresident NY return. Thanks for all the help but never did get it figured out. It is just for a $5 refund anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
