I bought New York (not my state) to do my daughter's taxes. I just want to verify the following statement about free e-file that appears on the e-file selection page:
Note: Regarding your New York return and NY state law
You are required to E-file your New York State income tax return.
New York state requires most taxpayers to file electronically if they are using tax software to prepare their return. Please note there is no additional fee for e-filing. The law also provides that once you’ve paid for tax preparation software, you can’t be charged and additional fee for e-filing.
That seems clear to me, but everything else I've seen indicates that since I will use my free file for my own state, I will have to pay for NYS efile. Is NYS just different?
