Well, I would expect the average rate in Alabama (2% to 5%, right?) to
be lower than the average rate in NY (4% to 6.85%), but of course
there are other variables that could change the result. I just like
to warn people that they may not get every dollar of source state tax
back from the residence state, so they don't get surprised.

Yes, you must file a NY return to report and pay tax on the gain.
IT-203 is the form.

Alabama will give you credit for the tax you pay to NY; see Form 40,
Schedule CR. However, the credit will be limited to the proportion of
your Alabama tax liability that relates to that income. Since it is
likely that the NY tax rate will be higher than the AL rate, you may
not get credit for all of the tax you pay to NY. Net, you will pay
state income tax on that income at the higher of the two states'
average rates for your income level, filing status, number of
dependents, etc.

You will definitely have to file a NY return and pay NY tax on the gain.
You will probably also have to include the income in your AL income, but
check the AL instructions.

Usually the residence state offers some sort of credit paid to another
state. Again, look to the AL instructions.

I am a 25-year resident of Alabama but own some real estate in NY
which I will likely be selling this (2008) year. Do I have to file a
NY non-resident tax return (IT-203??) to report any gain, or do I just
report it in AL?

If I have to report in both NY and AL,
do I try to get credit in AL for the NY tax paid OR
do I try to get credit in NY for the AL tax paid?

Thanks
