A new dashboard released by New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli allows people to track the number of personal income tax (PIT) filers moving in and out of the state. DiNapoli says the taxpayer migration dashboard, which uses data from the Department of Taxation and Finance, contains the latest numbers on part-year resident tax filers and will be updated annually to allow the public the ability to analyze trends on taxpayers moving into and out of the state each year. The interactive chart provides data for tax filers moving into and out of the state in a given year based on part-year resident filers, and allows for analysis based on filing status or income.
For example, the dashboard indicates the following:
- In 2024, there were 256,164 part-year filers; of these filers, 121,251 moved into New York, while 134,913 left the state, a net out-migration of 13,662 taxpayers -- a loss of approximately 1 in 1,000 resident taxpayers.
- The greatest net loss of taxpayers was among married filers with incomes between $100,000 and $500,000 -- a net loss of 8,200, or more than half of the total net outmigration, in 2024.
- Net outmigration rates increase at higher income levels; in 2024, net out-migration averaged 1 in every 100 resident filers with incomes over $500,000.
- One positive post-pandemic trend is that there has been a net in-migration of single filers each year since 2022.
