State tax filing

ErnieS0 · ‎April 4, 2021

@Japs52 Your New York income tax return is ready to file because it matches current law. Right now, there is no $10,200 unemployment exclusion for NY income taxes. All unemployment is taxable to NY and any federal exclusion for unemployment is added back on your NY return.

You are welcome to wait. There is a current bill (S5125A) to match the federal unemployment exemption. It's currently in a Senate Committee. It may never become law. The NY filing deadline was extended to May 17. You can also file for a six-month extension until October 15, 2021.

How to request your extension

You can complete your request for free using our online service.
You must e-file your extension if you prepare your extension using software that supports e-file.
If your paid preparer is required to e-file your tax return, and is also preparing your extension request, the preparer must e-file your extension request.

The online and e-file options provide you with a confirmation that we received your extension request.
