New York Statutory Residency Risk Checker

Checks your exposure under New York's 184-day rule and the permanent place of abode test. Answer the three groups below and see a risk level with the factors that drove it.

Time

Days of presence in New York for the year under review.

Housing

Abode is load-bearing. Without it, statutory residency does not apply; with it, the day threshold matters.

Do you maintain a permanent place of abode in New York?

A permanent place of abode generally means a residence suitable for year-round use that you maintain for yourself. If unsure, pick Unsure.

Did you move out of New York during the year?

Ties

Other facts that typically inform how patterns get evaluated.

Do you maintain a primary residence outside New York?
Do you still spend significant time in New York?
Do you have family (spouse / dependents) in New York?
Is your primary work location outside New York?
Enter days in New York and your abode status to see a risk assessment.

Manual tracking creates long-term data risk

Statutory residency turns on day counts and housing facts — both of which are often reconstructed from memory, email, calendars, and credit-card statements when the question arrives.

Any part of a day in New York can count. A dinner, a meeting, a single overnight — each is a NY day. Short visits are the easiest ones to forget.

The people who hold the line under review usually aren't counting better. They have records that were already in place before the question was asked.

Part-days count. Cash days don't leave records.

An audit asks about specific dates. Memory drifts.

Chrono tracks every day automatically.

The answer is always current.
