"Enhanced" forms are just PDF forms that have enhanced features like barcodes for easier filing and processing. NY state has enhanced versions of all of their forms, but the fields/information on the forms are the same.
The "enhanced" IT-558 is already online: https://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/ads/efile_addit558-2d.htm. I have no idea if NY has plans to update the form or is working on that, since they seem to be pretty bad at sharing that sort of information online ... But at any rate, it's available already in an e-fileable format.

Enhanced paper filing with a fill-in form
Electronic filing is the fastest, safest way to file—but if you must file a paper New York Adjustments due to Decoupling from the IRC use our enhanced fill-in Form IT-558 with 2D barcodes.
Benefits include:
- no more handwriting—type your entries directly into our form
- automatic calculation of your refund or tax due amount—the form does the math
- a unique 2D barcode printed on every page that securely links your form information to your account
- fewer errors and faster processing of your form
Note: We recommend you save the PDF document to your computer and fill out this saved version, instead of accessing the form directly through your Web browser. See How do I download PDF documents to my computer. The form is not available for use with any mobile devices.
This form is not compatible with Linux operating systems.
All taxpayers should save a copy of their return for their files. You can either print a copy of the return or save the return on your computer.
