Since TurboTax does not support e-filing for your return, you are exempt from the mandatory e-filing requirement. You're required to electronically file your return only if you meet all three of the following conditions:
- you use software to prepare your own personal income tax return;
- your software supports the electronic filing of your return; and
- you have broadband Internet access.
Since you don't meet condition #2, you can mail your return. As of April of 2012, the New York Department of Taxation removed the formerly-imposed $25 penalty for filing by mail.
Here is the address and mailing instructions for New York state tax returns:
You must include the following on your envelope:
- your return address
- enough postage (some returns require additional postage)
If you are NOT including a payment, mail your return to:
STATE PROCESSING CENTER
PO BOX 61000
ALBANY NY 12261-0001
If you ARE including a payment (check or money order), mail your return (including Form IT-201-V) to:
STATE PROCESSING CENTER
PO BOX 15555
ALBANY NY 12212-5555
Include copies of any documents that report NY withholdings or NY earned income.
