I found out today that no one can e-file with New York because the form NY IT-2 called Summary of Form W-2 Statements cannot be filed electronically through TurboTax. Yep, that's right a form that is the summary of your W-2(s) cannot be e-filed using TurboTax. So basically, somehow nobody can e-file in New York using TurboTax, which is bizarre. TurboTax told me themselves that IT-2 is unsupported for e-filing (see below) and placed the blame on NYS Dept. of Taxation saying they require e-filing but don't accept an electronic IT-2. However, when you call the NYS Dept. of Taxation, they say that this is a TurboTax problem. So, basically it's a stalemate and you have to print , sign and return your NYS tax return. And they don't tell you that up front then charge you the full $40, and they won't credit you for their lack of transparency or you having to pay to mail your forms in.
