What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ny. I was employed as a police officer in Texas in 2008. Due to an injury I was being discharged of being a cop. In Sept 2008 I sold my house in Texas and was in the process of moving to New York. While I was in the process of moving, the city's short term disabilities insurance was cutting me a lump sum check. I didnt know how long it would take for them to complete my claim so since I was moving I had the representative mail my check to NY at my mom's address since I am not situated. I did not legally reside in NY until December.
Tax season comes for the 2008 year and I only file Federal because Texas has no state income tax.
Its 2014 and I receive a letter that I owe on the disability check that was issued to me through the city's contracted short term disabilty company. I called NYS Tax Administration rep and explained my situation. She said you show moving expenses on your taxes in a snotty tone. I was like maam accordinance with the IRS since I used a moving company to move my item before Dec 31 I can deduct that from my taxes. She was like a robot. I told her that Texas has no state income tax and my injury was in Texas. Before I said anything else I terminated the contact.
Does NY have the right to go after a check that was issued to me from the city I was living, working and injured? Also to clarify it wasnt an on the job injury, but the city determined I was elgible for short term disabilty.
