Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Let me give you options:

Efile:

  • NY -If you want to efile - put $1 of income on the NY return. It won't be taxable but it will efile.
  • The federal should efile regardless of NY. There must be another issue for it to not file.
  • The IL should file regardless of the NY return. There must be another issue.

 

Mail:

1. Each taxing agency has its own rules about what to mail but all require tax forms attached. Supporting documents should not be necessary unless you  were told to add them - like a renters credit certificate or some other special situation.

2. It is always a good idea to put the federal return behind the state return when submitting the state. 

2b. If one state is giving credit for tax paid to another state, you will include a copy of that state's return under the state being submitted. For example: IL has credit for NY tax paid, submit IL, NY and Fed all together, in that order.
