Hello I am a student in upstate New York and I am on F1 visa. This summer I was interning in New York City (also living in Manhattan) for 3 months. I see that locality tax (most probably New York City tax) was deducted from on paycheck.

My questions are :

1. Do I need to pay New York city taxes?
2. If yes, what forms should I be filling and what address should I be sending them to.
3. What other attachments (W2 etc) do I need to send along with the forms mentioned in Q2 above.
4. If no, how do I claim a refund?

Regards,
Ambrish

F1 students are not considered residents of the city.

1) No.

2) Claim the refund when you file your NY state tax.

3) A copy of your F-1 visa with a statement that, as an international student, you are NOT liable for NYC taxes.

4) Claim the refund on the NY state tax form.
