When you select other, you become ineligible for e-filing.... Boo (for 2 years now...)
Not Eligible for Electronic Filing
Why? Well, it looks like you have a tax situation in your New York return that makes it ineligible for e-filing.
Reason for e-file ineligibility: | | |
|
| | Public employee retirement contributions must be categorized as either subject to tax or tax exempt. The only valid tax category entries for public employee retirement contributions on W-2 box 14 are either 1) NY IRC 414(h) Subject to NY tax or 2) NY IRC 414(h) NY tax exempt. Other - not on above list is not acceptable for e-file in NY. In most cases, public employee retirement contributions are subject to tax. Review all W-2 Box 14 entries on your Federal return in the Wages and Income Section. If you do not see the tax category box next to the box 14 amount field then click Continue and on the next screen click Back. |

These rules are set by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. | | | | The good news is you can still print your New York return and file it by mail. |
