ALLOCATION TEST WORKSHEET
Check the box(es) below that apply.
1. Were you laid off during the stay at home order and did you collect unemployment? 1 Yes No If Yes, enter dates From ___/___/___ To ___/___/___
2. Were you paid by your employer but did not perform any work? 2 Yes No If Yes, enter dates From ___/___/___ To ___/___/___
3. Were you paid by your employer and only answered occasional emails, had 3 Yes No If Yes, enter dates From ___/___/___ To ___/___/___
occasional work-related phone conversations and/or were on call?
4. Did you work by remote from your home outside of the taxing City for hours 4 Yes No If Yes, enter dates From ___/___/___ To ___/___/___
approximating your regular shift?

No You cannot allocate your wages as a non-resident. *please see explanation below
Did you answer
5 Yes to question
4? Wage allocation is allowed to the extent that you worked remotely not including any sick/vacation you may have taken. Use the wages
Yes and excludible wage schedule to calculate the exclusion based only on the dates shown on line 4. A signed copy of this worksheet
must be attached to your return or your wage allocation will be disallowed. See below for additional support that may be required.

Under the penalty of perjury, I declare that I have examined this form, and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete. If prepared by
a person other than taxpayer, the preparer's declaration is based on all information of which preparer has any knowledge. I understand that this information will
be verified with my employer.

===>

**A letter from your employer confirming that you worked remotely must accompany this form**

Explanation of why questions 1 to 3 are not part of the allocation.
1) Days out of work are not considered to be days worked. Unemployment compensation is not taxable and is not reported on your W-2.
2) No wage allocation is allowed, because days at home are not considered to be days work. These days fall under the same category as vacation/sick time.
3) No wage allocation allowed unless taxpayer was called in (i.e. worked by remote for hours approximating their regular shift). This appears to fall under many City Regulations as follows: The mere fact that
a non-resident employee is subject to call at any time does not permit the allocation of compensation on a seven day per week basis. The mere fact that a non-resident employee is compensated on a seven
day per week salary basis, when he/she does not in fact perform work or render services seven days per week, does not permit the allocation of compensation on a seven day per week basis. The mere fact
that a non-resident employee takes work home does not permit the allocation of compensation.
