After you file

It's just a delay tactic on the state's part.  They have the withholding information on file from the NYS-45s filed with the state.  If you don't send back the W2s, they won't send the refund.  If you send it, they tell you to allow 90 days.  The withholding ALWAYS matches on my returns, and I've gotten several over the years.  I read an article with a quote from the state claiming they issue these because of their "improved analytical software."  Why would improved software pick up  a zero difference in withholding on the return and W2?  This should really be investigated.  Anyone who thinks I'm a bit skeptical doesn't know NYS.
