IT-203 - Turbotax incorrectly requires both spouses to sign when only one should (NY Part Year Resident/Non Resident with No NY Source Income; MFJ Federal)
I was a part year resident of NY and my husband was a non-resident with no NY source income; we file federal joint. The NY tax website says I should file a joint IT203 (with my name and SSN on top and only his SSN) return along with IT203C. The instructions also say that only I should sign IT203. However, the cover page of Turbotax e-filing instructions say: "Since you are married filing jointly, your spouse must also sign and date the form" and Turbotax lists both of our occupations on the signature line for IT203, next to where signatures go. So if we e-file, does Turbotax e-sign for both of us even though only one of us should? Is there a way to correct this? Would the e-file go through?
IT203B: Turbotax incorrectly puts both our names on the form and my husband's SSN even though the instructions say it should follow IT203 ie have my name and SSN. Any advice on whether I should override this?
