[Qgis-user] Newbie issue with layers

[Randal Hale]

Make your CSV EPSG:4326 (wgs84) since you have Lat and Long Ranges. See 
if they line up with "Project on the fly" checked.

If so - right click the layer and Save as and reproject (selecting a 
defined CRS) to NAD_1983_StatePlane_New_York_Long_Island_FIPS_3104_Feet
