Such information return shall be due at the same time as the return for the portion of the year during which such individual is a resident.  (b)   City  taxable  income  for  portion  of  year  individual  is  a resident.--The city taxable income for the portion of  the  year  during which  he  is  a  resident  shall  be  determined, except as provided in subdivision (c), under part II of this local law as if his taxable  year for  federal  income  tax  purposes  were  limited  to the period of his resident status.  (c) Special accruals.--(1) If an individual changes  his  status  from resident   to  nonresident,  he  shall,  regardless  of  his  method  of accounting, accrue for the portion of the taxable  year  prior  to  such change  of  status any items of income, gain, loss or deduction accruing prior to the change of status,  if  not  otherwise  properly  includible (whether  or  not  because  of  an  election to report on an installment basis) or allowable for city income tax purposes for such portion of the taxable year or for a prior taxable year. The amounts  of  such  accrued items shall be determined with the applicable modifications described in sections  twelve and fifteen as if such accrued items were includible or allowable for federal income tax purposes.  (2) If an individual changes his status from nonresident to  resident, he shall, regardless of his method of accounting, accrue for the portion of  the taxable year prior to such change of status any items of income, gain, loss or deduction accruing prior to the change of status,  if  not otherwise  properly includible (whether or not because of an election to report on an installment basis) or  allowable  for  federal  income  tax purposes  for  such  portion  of the taxable year or for a prior taxable year.

(4)  Where  an  individual  changes  his  status  from   resident   to nonresident,  the  accruals under this subdivision shall not be required if the individual files with the administrator a bond or other  security acceptable  to  the  administrator,  conditioned  upon  the inclusion of amounts accruable under this subdivision in city adjusted  gross  income for  one  or  more subsequent taxable years as if the individual had not changed his resident status.  (d) Prorations.--Where an individual changes  his  status  during  his taxable  year  from  resident  to  nonresident  or  from  nonresident to resident, the city personal exemptions allowable under  section  sixteen shall  be  prorated,  under regulations of the administrator, to reflect the portions of the entire taxable year during which the individual  was a resident and a nonresident  (e) Standard deduction.--Where an individual changes his status during his  taxable  year  from  resident to nonresident or from nonresident to resident, the city standard deduction allowable shall be either ten  per centum  of  city  adjusted  gross  income reported for the period during  which he is a resident, or one thousand dollars  prorated  according  to the period covered by the return, whichever is less.
