    New York city tax for opt visa?
    Hi there,

    I've been on OPT status since I started work in June, and have heard from others that I shouldn't be paying nyc income tax, since I'm not technically a resident. Can you confirm or point me in the right direction? Many thanks

    Your friends are correct.

    As a student NOT native to NYC, you are by definition a non-resident of NYC.
