Do not enter tax withheld, estimated tax payments, or payments of balances due on these lines. If the amount of income tax paid to the other taxing  authority is satisfied by the amount of income tax withheld, you must attach proof of payment. A copy of the withholding tax statement showing the amount of tax withheld by the other taxing authority is acceptable proof.

    New instructions are added for Lines 29 and 30 as follows:
    Line 29 - Enter on line 29 the total amount of tax withheld for and/or amount of estimated tax payments made to the other state, local government, or the District of Columbia.  Include all prepayments such as: amounts withheld from all sources; estimated tax payments, including overpayments applied from a prior year’s tax return; and payments made with extensions.  Do not include taxes withheld or estimated taxes paid for any taxing authority other than the one for which you are claiming the credit on this Form IT-112-R. 

    Line 30 – Enter the amount of overpayment, if any, shown on the 2005 return you filed with the other state, local government, or the District of Columbia.  This is the amount that exceeds the total tax computed on your 2005 return for the other taxing authority (see the instructions for line 24 above), prior to allocation for amounts to be refunded or credited to the following year’s estimated tax, and prior to any deductions for donations or estimated tax penalties.The Line 31 instructions should read as follows (the changes are boldfaced):Line 31 – Enter on line 31 the balance due, if any, shown on the 2005 return you filed with the other state, local government, or the District of Columbia.  The balance due is the amount you paid with your return (not including penalties, interest, or use tax) after credit for taxes withheld, estimated tax payments and any other prepayments.

Since the federal legislation had not been enacted at the time the 2003 personal income tax forms and instructions were printed, the forms and instructions do not reflect the changes resulting from this legislation. For revised instructions, see Notice N-04-3.

The first paragraph in the line 11 instructions should read as follows (the changes are boldfaced):

    This is your eligible federal child and dependent care credit. If you claimed the child and dependent care credit on your federal return, the amount shown on Form IT-216, line 11, should be the same as the amount shown on federal Form 2441, line 9, or federal Form 1040A, Schedule 2, line 9 before any federal limitation.

    IT-201-P

    City of NY Tax Table (page 90)

    2003

    City of New York residents only:

    There is an error in the printed New York State income tax packets (IT-201-P) that were mailed directly to New York taxpayers. The error affects only city of New York residents and is contained only in those tax packets received in the mail.

    If you received a Resident Income Tax Return packet (IT-201-P) in the mail, there is a tax computation bracket error on page 90 of the 2003 City of New York Tax Table.

    Under the last section titled $65,000 or more** use schedule below, in the area for Married filing jointly, the second tax computation bracket (more than 90,000) is incomplete and another new third bracket (more than 150,000) must be added.

    The revised second and new third brackets should read ...

       90,000    150,000 $3,071 plus 3.648% (.03648)
           of amount over $90,000
         
      150,000 ....................... $5,260 plus 4.25% (.0425)
           of amount over $150,000

    Please note that this error is only in the printed IT-201-P tax packets that were mailed directly to taxpayers. If you picked up a Resident Income Tax Return instructions booklet (IT-201-I) at your local bank, library, post office, federal office building, or any NY State district tax office, or if you access the instructions for Form IT-201on our Tax Department Web site, use our Publication 352 or our Pub 352-CD ROM, or if you use any of the year 2003 software tax preparation products on the market, the correct tax computation brackets appear in the City of New York Tax Table.

    Page 35, third column, last paragraph, "New for 2003"

    2003

    Sales or use tax reference:

    There is an error in the instructions for Form IT-201 on page 35 that relates to the new line 56 "Sales or use tax" calculation that begins on the following page 36. The error is located only in the printed instruction booklets for Form IT-201 (Form IT-201-I) and the printed income tax packets (Form IT-201-P) that are mailed directly to some New York State taxpayers.

    The "New for 2003" paragraph in the lower right corner of page 35 relating to the new line 56 sales or use tax calculation currently tells taxpayers:

    " ...If you do not owe any sales or use tax, skip line 56 and go directly to the instructions for line 57, ..."

    Because a sales or use tax dollar amount or "0" must be entered in the data-entry field for new line 56, line 56 cannot be skipped or left blank. The paragraph should read:

    " ...If you do not owe any sales or use tax, you must enter "0" on line 56 and then go directly to the instructions for line 57, ..."

    Please note: Only the printed IT-201-I instruction booklets and IT-201-P mailing packets contain the incorrect paragraph. If you access the instructions for Form IT-201(Form IT-201-I) on our Tax Department Web site or use our Publication 352 or our Pub 352-CD ROM, the "New for 2003" paragraph in the lower right corner of page 35 is correct.

    The line 38 instructions should read: Line 38 - Enter the benefit period factor from the Benefit period factor table on page 4 of Form IT-604.

    The error occurs on line 8 which reads: Business income or loss (from your federal Form 1040 line instructions, Earned Income Credit Worksheet B, line 4a)

    Line 8 of Form IT-215 should read: Business income or loss (from your federal Form 1040 line instructions, Earned Income Credit Worksheet B, the total of lines 1e, 2c, and 3).

    The Form IT-215 instructions for line 8 should read: Business income or loss, applies only to federal Form 1040 filers.

    (2000)

    There is an error on the 2002 Form IT-253, Alternative Fuels Credit. It affects only taxpayers who are required to compute a recapture of credit on clean-fuel vehicle refueling property. The error is in Schedule F, Part II, column D, which incorrectly instructs taxpayers to compute the number of recapture years by subtracting the column B amount ,Total recovery period, from the column C amount, Years in service prior to recapture year.

    The correct instruction is to subtract the column C amount from the column B amount. Column D should read, Recapture years (column B - column C).

    The same error is on prior year revised Forms IT-253 (2001) and IT-253 (2000).  The forms for all three years have been corrected for the printed, Web and Fax-on-Demand versions.  Do not use the forms on the Pub 352-CD or in the Pub 352 book.
