We also paper-filed our New York return, mainly because TurboTax does not support the IT-242 form for the conservation easement tax credit and NYS no longer allows e-filing via TurboTax with a PDF form attached. This year our NY refund was equal to that credit, minus some amount put in for uncollected NY sales tax on out-of-state purchases. I did not think of e-filing via TurboTax first but without the credit, then filing an amended paper return to claim it. Curious to see if those interested here can figure out which way would be better to do if this problem continues in future years, so it would be good to continue to share updates.
