Employee Obligations (Which Returns YOU Must File)

File a nonresident New York return plus your Wisconsin return and claim the Schedule OS credit. Consider consulting a CPA.

Employer Obligations (What Your Employer Must Withhold & Remit)

New York's Convenience of Employer rule may require withholding New York tax even if the Wisconsin employee works 100% remotely. Register from day 1. New York is the most burdensome state for employers regarding remote workers. The COE rule means employers must withhold NY tax for remote Minnesota employees unless the remote work is a documented business necessity. Register for MCTMT if metro payroll exceeds $312,500 per quarter. Unemployment applies to the first $13,000 of wages. MCTMT is up to 0.895% on all wages in the metropolitan commuter district.
