Thank you for your detailed and rapid response. Because the Federal returns that I am submitting for family members are so large, I am going to e-file the Federal returns and paper-file the New York State return. Each of the five Federal returns has a state return associated with it. Hence, I believe that e-filing all returns would amount to ten e-files, for which I would be paying $20-25 for five of the e-files?
TurboTax does print a New York State instructional page with each printed tax return, and the one for New York does not say anything about e-filing only. I suppose that it is worth the risk.
Thanks again for your time expended!
