Hi there,

According to the city:

"Any New York City employees who were a nonresident of the City (the five NYC boroughs) during any part of a particular tax year must file an 1127 return. In most cases, if you received an 1127.2 statement from your employer, you would have to file an 1127 return."

I believe the NYC withholding (if any) would be listed separately on the W-2 from the NYS withholding, as in most jurisdictions the state withholding is reported in box 16 and city withholding is in box 19. I would refer to the NYC department of finance as the ultimate source of truth: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/finance/taxes/personal-income-tax-and-non-resident-employees.page
