New York standard deduction: $8,000 single, $16,050 married filing jointly or head of household. New York’s bracket thresholds are set in statute and are not inflation-indexed. Residents of New York City or Yonkers also pay a local income tax, which is not included here. For income over $107,650, New York applies a tax-benefit recapture that raises the effective rate, so higher earners can owe a little more than the brackets alone suggest.
