Bronxville PO Yonkers Tax Question (Mount Vernon, Eastchester: city hall, income, income tax)

[always-mobile]

Does anyone know if Bronxville PO residents have to pay the Yonkers income tax surcharge?

I am a bit confused whether Bronxville PO counts as Yonkers for tax purposes.

The Bronxville P.O. straddles a couple of jurisdictions, so it's dependent upon what part of the area to which you are referring. The tax is a 10% surcharge on your state income tax liability that's paid when you live within the city of Yonkers, regardless as to the delivery address for the post office. You can be in Eastchester, Yonkers, or Mount Vernon (very small number in Mount Vernon) and have the 10708 zip code.

For example, Sarah Lawrence and areas near it are not in Bronxville, but Yonkers; so, too, are areas that border the Cross County Parkway on Midland. However, both are in the 10708 zip code.

Bronxville PO just means that the Post Office that delivers is Bronxville. The post office (or PO) has nothing to do with taxes. You live in Yonkers so you pay whatever the Yonkers taxes are. You are a Yonkers resident. There are people that live near me that have a Scarsdale PO. It is just the way the Post office breaks up the mail. It has nothing to do with where you live or how your taxes work. If you have additional questions or want to be certain, call city hall. they are very helpful. Good luck.

Thanks a bunch. That answers my question. So it counts as Yonkers resident then, for tax purposes.
