Forty-three TV shows and movies took $1.2 billion in New York state tax breaks from 2015 to mid-2018, state records show.

New York state sets aside a generous $420 million a year for tax breaks for film studios that make movies and TV shows in the state.

Thatâ€™s more than any other tax break program in New York state. For comparison, the stateâ€™s Excelsior Business Program, previously called Start-UP NY, was expected to wipe out only $180 million in taxes in the latest fiscal year.
