Legal Question in Tax Law in New York

I recently moved from one town to another in 2020, but still stayed in NY. To update my permanent address I am required to complete a new IT-2104 (2021) form. I am married filing jointly, both of us work and have 2 children under the age of 17. Am I answering the following question correctly?
