Thanks for your very speedy reply!
Since we are using desktop software, I guess this means that we e-file the federal return first, and, when accepted within a few days, then e-file the NY return as a follow up. Since we e-file five family Federal returns every year, those returns that also have state returns get mailed subsequently. Does it make sense to hold off on e-filing the NY return until all five Federal returns have been e-filed, just in case? The Federal returns are upwards of a 100 pages, and I wouldn't look forward to having to mail one of them!
Again, many thanks.
