I have a friend who moved from Arkansas to NY state. She is claiming that NY is taxing her on both her NY income and AR income. Is that legal, can they do that?
Years ago when we moved from California to Arkansas, California taxed us only on the income we earned in CA, but at the rate we would have reached had we earned all our income in CA. I.E. CA taxed us at a higher rate than the amount would normally have been taxed at. It pissed me off, but they did it.
I tried to explain to her (via FB) that this may be what is happening, but she says no. I'm having a hard time believing NY can tax income not earned in NY.
