Entered all client info. Received the REP but there is no NYC tax calculated. Client works in NYC and lives in Long Island City.

Can not get Lacerte to calculate tax and I know it is due

What am I doing wrong

That's because Long Island City is not one of the 5 boroughs that are subject to NYC resident tax.

NYC NR tax was ruled unconstitutional eons ago.  Unless your client is an employee of a NYC government agency, he/she is not subject to NYC tax.

More info needed.

Wages? Did you enter New York City Income Tax withheld? 

Full year resident?

 

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

@RC18I must stand corrected.  I had mistaken Long Island City for Long Island.

I just checked that it's in Queens and that's one of the 5 boroughs.  See page 14 of IT201 instructions.  The fact that the numbers are not flowing has to do with input.
