I do not live in New York City I live in central New York and work in central New York. My employer has taken out NYC city taxes. Is this a tax I, not being a resident of NYC or any of the 5 boroughs have to pay?

do you ever do any work in the city? Do you go there for a staff meeting or a training class? How long have they been withholding for city income tax?– mhoran_psprepCommented Nov 3, 2021 at 12:13

1You may want to talk to a tax person. Perhaps you can file a tax return from the city and receive a full refund. You may also want to consult your HR department. What exactly do you mean by "central NY"? What county do you reside?– Pete B.Commented Nov 3, 2021 at 12:39

From the comments:
Does HR have your correct address?
Yes thy do have the correct one
When wondering why a state or federal tax is being withheld by your employer, always look at the W-4. Providing HR with your mailing address doesn't mean that they will be able to properly withhold. You will need to complete Federal and state W-4 forms.
from the Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate (IT-2104)
Are you a resident of New York City? ........... Yes No
Are you a resident of Yonkers? ..................... Yes No
How you answered those two questions may help determine if any City taxes are withheld.
