I didn't. Now that I DO live in 'the city', I do pay the tax.

As others have said, if you live in LI & work in Manhattan, you don't have to pay a city tax.

Re: If you work in the city & live on LI...(simple question)

Some employees who work for NYC but live in Long Island, do have to pay a City Waiver Tax.

DH pays this in his paycheck for being a city employee but not a NYC resident.

It's essentially a tax for earning money in the city as a commuter, but not residing there and paying city taxes.


I'm sure anyone else's spouse who works for the city for an agency like NYPD, then they know that old city waiver!

Not usually.

I think some city jobs (not DOE) have to. I know Sanitation does.

No. When I started with my current company we had a moron in HR that listed me as a city resident and I didn't even notice it until my accountant told me. Thankfully I got all that tax back!
