Wow. I already did my New York State income tax, and totally missed
it. (Just copied last year's form, with minor changes to the
numbers...)
I get the impression that they didn't really think it through when
they put the line on the income tax form. If asked, I'll just
say that one of my children purchased the items. Their incomes
are still low enough that they are exempt from filing income tax.
