Question: For Tax Returns, What "County" and "City" Should Brooklyn Residents Use?
Federal, state and city tax forms require that one state a home address, with city, county and state indicated. Brooklyn is part of New York City. So should a person write "Brooklyn" or "New York City" on the tax returns? And what county is Brooklyn in?
Answer:
There are two parts to this answer.
>p> What When filing federal tax returns, or filling out state and city tax forms, it is preferable to use "Brooklyn, New York," as the city of residence, rather than just New York City. Indicate the city (Brooklyn), state (New York), and Brooklyn zip code.
Brooklyn is in Kings County. Indeed, Kings County, NY, is Brooklyn: they are one and the same thing.
