Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you are using the desktop program, open the tax file that has your federal return and prepare your NY return from that federal return.   The state returns pull your information from the federal return.   If you go to Forms, your personal information should be entered on your Personal Wks (your name).   

 

It sounds like the return you are working on has an empty federal return.    If you signed into TurboTax Online, you should sign out.   Use the link below to find your tax file on your computer, so you can file your NY tax return.
