It depends. If you already filed your federal return, you'll have to wait until that return has been accepted before you can e-file your state.
Once your federal return has been accepted you should be able to e-file your state return.
To e-file your return:
- In TurboTax Online, sign in to your account.
- Select Tax Home in the left menu.
- Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
- Select 2020, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you into the right area).
- Select File in the left menu (expand your browser window if you don't see this, or select the menu icon in the top left corner).
- On the Just one more step screen, follow steps 1 and 2 if you haven't already.
- Select the Start button to the right of Step 3.
- On the Let's get ready to e-file screen, select I want to e-file.
- Follow the instructions to e-file your return.
If you are not able to e-file due to a form on your return that cannot be e-filed, then you will not be assessed a penalty.
Per NYS, you're required to electronically file your return 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
- You have broadband Internet access
You are qualified to mail in your return because your software does not support electronic filing of this form.
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
