(These notes are identical to the notes listed on the top of page 23. They are repeated here
for the convenience of taxpayers claiming the NYC household credit.)
Note 1 For most taxpayers, federal AGI is the amount from Form IT-201, line 19. However, if on Form IT-201 you entered special
condition code A6 (for Build America Bond (BAB) interest), your federal AGI is the line 19 amount minus any BAB interest
that was included in the line 19 amount.
Note 2 This amount could be 0 or a negative amount.
Note 3 For each individual over 7, add the amount in this column to the column 7 amount.
Note 4 For most taxpayers, federal AGI is the amount from Form IT-201, line 19 (or Form IT-203, line 19, Federal amount column).
However, if on your NYS return(s) you or your spouse entered special condition code A6 (for Build America Bond (BAB)
interest), federal AGI is the line 19 amount minus any BAB interest that was included in the line 19 amount. If your spouse
was not required to file an NYS return, use your spouse’s federal AGI as reported on his or her federal return (minus any
BAB interest included in that amount).
