Good luck getting volunteers in the future.

Not many expect workers not to pay taxes.
However, New York tends to be much more heavy handed than other states when it comes to requiring people who work in the state for even a very short time (I think essentially from day one) to file a New York state tax return.
This is something those who plan/attend conventions are pretty well aware of...And we plan to attend, (or not!) and sell goods at conventions based in NY with that states policies in mind. Most healthcare workers are not frequently in this position, and are being caught off guard, making them feel like they just got a nice little 'fuck you' from the state.... "Hey, thanks for answering our desperate pleas for help...Don't forget you get to pay our tax rates, and pay your tax person to file another return!"
I'll admit-not the most devastating thing in the world, but at least in the short term...bad optics.

Why are those bad optics? Who would expect these people not to pay taxes?
"Even though the state government asked thousands of people to come to New York from out of state to help fight coronavirus, they will have to pay New York state taxes, even on income they might make from their home states that they're paid while in New York."
That's fucked up.

Stop spending.
Balance your budget.
Idiot.

It’s not that fucked up. I did it for years as a consultant. Always had multiple state returns.
Me too. But I did not have to pay Wisconsin taxes for money I received from Ohio clients.

Depends on Wisconsin tax law, whether/how you performed work in Wisconsin, and what interstate compact Ohio might have with Wisconsin, if any.

I don’t know the specific details but it isn't generally true. Sounds like the press blew up some very special case to try to scratch the ‘nothing’ off of this burger.

Yea... ya better hope that second wave doesn't hit NYC.
Good luck getting anyone to go...
You think 5-8% less on 200k annualized will make a difference?

I think the primary issue is groups like Samaritan’s Purse that came in from out of the area, whose nurses weren’t being paid 5K a month and were not being paid any extra to be there. They are being double taxed on their same income.
