Form IT-2104-SNY Certificate of Exemption from Withholding for START-UP NY Program Tax Year 2024

IT-2104-SNY Department of Taxation and Finance Certificate of Exemption from Withholding for START-UP NY Program New York State  •  New York City  •  Yonkers If you are employed by a business approved to participate in the START-UP NY program that operates in a tax-free NY area, you may be eligible to exclude from New York adjusted gross income (NYAGI) wages earned from this employer. Therefore, you may choose to claim exemption from withholding on these wages for New York State personal income tax (and New York City and Yonkers personal income tax, if applicable). To be eligible, you must: • be employed by an approved business certified to participate in the START-UP NY program; • perform work exclusively at the approved business’s location within the tax-free NY area during the tax year; • be employed in a net new job created by the approved business in the tax-free NY area; and • work at least 6 months (or expect to work at least 6 months) of the tax year at the approved business’s location. See Who qualifies below for additional information on eligibility. If you do not meet all of the conditions above, stop; you cannot claim exemption from withholding. Employee information First name and middle initial Last name Mailing address (number and street or PO Box) Social Security number Apartment number Date of birth (mm-dd-yyyy) City, village, or post office State ZIP code Filing status: Mark an X in only one box A Single................................. B Married filing joint return.... C Head of household............. I certify that the information on this form is correct and that, for this tax year, I expect to qualify (as described above) for exemption from withholding on my wages from this employer, for New York State income tax purposes. Employee’s signature (give the completed form to your employer; keep a copy for your records) Date Employer information: complete this section and retain form for inspection upon request Employer name Certificate number Employee Employer identification number (EIN) – – – / – Instructions Who qualifies – If you are employed by a business approved to participate in the START-UP NY program that operates in a tax-free NY area, you may be eligible to exclude from your NYAGI the wages earned while working for this business. Therefore, you may choose not to have income tax withheld on these wages for New York State personal income tax (and New York City and Yonkers personal income tax, if applicable). See our website at www.tax.ny.gov for more information. Note: During the second five years of the approved business’s 10 consecutive tax year period, the amount of wages included in your federal adjusted gross income (AGI) that can be excluded from your NYAGI is limited as follows: • $200,000 of annual wages, if your filing status is single, • $250,000 of annual wages, if your filing status is head of household, or • $300,000 of annual wages, if your filing status is married filing joint return. Any wages included in your federal AGI earned over the amounts listed above, must have New York State personal income tax (and New York City and Yorkers personal income tax, if applicable) withheld by your employer; as you are liable for income taxes on the excess wages. To make sure the proper amount of tax is withheld, you should also complete Form IT-2104, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate, and give it to your employer. To be eligible, you must: • be employed by an approved business certified to participate in the START-UP NY program; • perform work exclusively at the approved business’s location within the tax-free NY area during the tax year; • be employed in a net new job created by the approved business in the tax-free NY area (see your employer to confirm you meet this qualification); and • work at least 6 months (or expect to work at least 6 months) of the tax year at the approved business’s location. Note: You are not eligible to exclude these wages from NYAGI if you do not work for this business at least 6 months of your tax year. If you claim the exemption from withholding before you have worked 6 months, and you do not actually work 6 months for this employer, you will be liable for income taxes on all these wages, and may be subject to a penalty. IT-2104-SNY (2024) (back) If you meet the conditions above, or expect to, file Form IT-2104-SNY with your employer. Otherwise, your employer must withhold New York State income tax (and New York City and Yonkers personal income tax, if applicable) from your wages. Do not send this form to the New York State Tax Department. If your employer’s participation in the START-UP NY program is suspended or terminated during the tax year, and you would have otherwise qualified to exclude your wages from NYAGI, you may still claim exemption from withholding for wages paid by this employer for the rest of the year. However, you cannot exclude your wages from NYAGI unless you work at least 6 months of the tax year exclusively at the business’s location. Liability for estimated tax – You may still have a New York State personal income tax liability (and New York City and Yonkers personal income tax, if applicable) if you have other taxable income, and may need to make required estimated tax payments (see Form IT-2105, Estimated Tax Payment Voucher for Individuals, for more information). A penalty of $500 may be imposed for furnishing false information that decreases your withholding amount. When to claim exemption from withholding – File this form with your employer if you meet (or expect to meet) the required conditions listed above. You must file a new form each year if you wish to continue to claim the exemption. Employer Enter your business name, employer identification number (EIN), and certificate number as it appears on your certificate of eligibility. By entering this information, you certify that you are an approved business certified in the START-UP NY program that is in compliance with the eligibility requirements with this assigned certificate number (see our website at www.tax.ny.gov for more information). Do not withhold New York State income tax from the wages of an employee who meets the eligibility requirements and files this form with you. Keep this form for your records to be provided upon request for inspection. Do not send it to the New York State Tax Department. This form must be filed each year by your employee to claim exemption. You may not use this form to report newly-hired or re-hired employees: go to https://www.nynewhire.com to see how to report new hires. Note: If your participation in the START-UP NY program is suspended or terminated during the tax year, an employee who would otherwise be eligible for exemption from withholding for New York State personal income tax (and New York City and Yonkers personal income tax, if applicable) is still eligible for exemption from withholding for wages paid by you for the rest of the year (provided it is anticipated the employee will work at least 6 months during the year exclusively at your business location).

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
