Did you file the federal return and then come back to complete the NY return ? If so did you accidentally click on "amend a return" to open the closed tax file ?
Please try the information below to unamend
your state taxes and then at
the bottom of this post you will find
the steps to complete your state return:
Unamend State
The best way to "unamend"
your state return is to go through your state return from the beginning and
keep your eyes peeled for amend-related screens or questions.
The amend question usually appears right at the beginning or towards
the end of the state
interview (never in the middle).
- Correct
any entries that have to do with an amended return, e.g.:
- Answer No when asked if you want to amend;
- Clear
any amend-related checkboxes;
- Delete
entries in the tax year field.
Note: In a few state programs, you actually
have to answer Yes to the amend question so you can
revisit the screens that contain the information you want to delete.
