Legal Question in Tax Law in New York

New York City taxes on income of resident of Suffolk County
Having been a resident of New York City for many years, after ''9/11'' I moved to Suffolk County. I kept, jointly with my wife and children, a coop apartment in New York City as an investment and which we all use from time to time. NYC claims I owe it taxes on my income. I am retired and have income from securities, social security and retirement pension. I frequently come into NYC for social events, museum visits, visiting friends, etc.) but never spend more than half the year in NYC on a daily basis. NYC claims I am still a resident of NYC even though I am (and have been) a registered voter in Suffolk and NYC wants taxes on my income, interest and penalties on such from when I left NYC to the present. Is there any merit to their position? And if so, how does one ever become a non-resident?

It is a factual dispute. How many days in each year did you step into NYC, even if for the briefest moment?

Also you must assemble the indicia of residency in Suffolk County; address, bank accounts, voting, church membership, delivery of mail and so on.
