Where New York businesses lose money

NY PTE election (PTET) not made

$8K–$80K

Federal SALT cap workaround. Pass-through pays state tax at entity level, owner deducts federally. $10K-$50K+ saving for $1M+ owners.

Excelsior Jobs Program credits

$25K–$5M

Refundable credits for jobs (6.85% wages), R&D (6%), real property, investment. 10-year benefit.

NYC Commercial Rent Tax overpayment

$3K–$40K

6% tax on commercial rent above $250K base in Manhattan below 96th. Many businesses overstate or miss exemptions.
