I called and spoke to the NY Finance and Taxation department and confirmed that what TT Home and Business is displaying is incorrect, NY does not have any rules requiring 1099G with Grant Payments to be filed by mail, in fact, other software companies are e-filing returns with 1099G EWF benefits that do not include unemployment compensation on line 1.
"Not Eligible for Electronic Filing - Returns with a 1099G that does not have unemployment on line 1. These rules are set by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance."
