New York tax on stocks and ETFs

New York generally taxes stocks and ETFs gains under its graduated income-tax framework (Graduated income tax (top rate up to 10.9%)). This estimate applies the top modeled New York rate to remaining taxable gain.

Federal rules for stocks and ETFs: Broker sales generally report on Form 1099-B and flow to Form 8949 and Schedule D. Wash-sale disallowance can apply if you repurchase a substantially identical security within 30 days. Holding period still matters for LTCG vs STCG except where a longer QSBS or real-estate test applies.

Open the parent New York calculator for a generic sale, or the national Stocks lander for asset-only copy. Nearby states below keep the same stocks preset so you can compare residency. Estimates are not tax advice.

A stock or ETF loss can be disallowed if you buy the same or a substantially identical security inside the 30-day wash-sale window. This illustration does not turn that disallowance on.

New York’s model taxes capital gains as ordinary income on a graduated scale with a top rate up to 10.9%. There is no separate state long-term capital-gains bracket in this estimate.

New York City’s local income tax is not itemized as its own line. A city resident can owe more than the state figure shown here. The page assumes New York State residency for the state tax.

FAQ

New York Stocks FAQs

How does New York tax stocks and ETFs capital gains?

Do wash sales change a New York stocks estimate?

Federally, a wash sale can disallow a securities loss. New York then taxes remaining recognized gain under graduated income tax (top rate up to 10.9%). Mark the wash-sale checkbox if you replaced shares inside 30 days.

Which IRS forms apply to a New York stocks sale?

Plan around Form 1099-B, Form 8949, and Schedule D. New York may require its own income-tax return when the state line is not $0. NIIT, if any, is computed on Form 8960.

Does New York tax stocks gains if I am a part-year resident?

This page assumes full-year New York residency and applies graduated income tax (top rate up to 10.9%) to taxable stocks and ETFs gain. Part-year allocation and nonresident sourcing are not modeled — use New York instructions or a CPA.

What does the New York Stocks illustration assume?

The New York Stocks rows use a single filer with $80,000 of other income and a long-term gain in 2026. A stock or ETF loss can be disallowed if you buy the same or a substantially identical security inside the 30-day wash-sale window. This illustration does not turn that disallowance on. Texas is the no-tax comparison, not a second residency.
