I just called the NYD Dept. of Tax n etc.. Guy told me that you enter the dollar amount for the year/date YOU DEPOSITIED THE CHECK. So, for example my 2019 check was issued on 12/31/18 but I didn't get it or cash it until the following week (i.e., January of 2020)......So, I will need to wait until I file the 2020 tax return.
