Right now I'm a resident of Texas, which for the purposes of income taxes, is fantastic (Texas has none). However, I am looking at going to New York for school, and chances are pretty good that I will be working while I am there. If I work in New York, does that mean I'll be required to pay taxes in New York even if I maintain my Texas residency? I'm very confused about this because I stayed in state for undergrad (California native, went to UCLA), and it was obvious that I lived and worked in California and thus paid California taxes. Ugh!

You should check either the school site or read the tax documents from the state about this. I found the following excerpt:

Generally, if your domicile is not New York State you are considered a New York State nonresident. However, you are a New York State resident for income tax purposes if your domicile is not New York State, but you maintain a permanent place of abode in New York State for more than 11 months of the year and spend 184 days or more (any part of a day is a day for this purpose) in New York State during the tax year.

You can read more about it here: http://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/publications/income/pub88.pdf and go through the NY State tax site.

Yep, I'm procrastinating :)

Yea, you'll have to pay income tax in NY. I am also a legal resident of a state without income taxes and have had to pay income tax (at the non-resident rate) in each of the four states I've worked in.
