Form IT-558, NY State Adj. due to Decoupling from the IRC.

I did file a IT-203 yet NYS still sent me the letter requesting IT-558.  Nothing changed (job, state of residence, famil from 2019 to now and I checked my 2020 tax return. I filed a IT-203 and did not have IT-558 so I am not sure why this year it is prompting me.  Any ideas? Thanks

Just fyi all, I called them, [wow they hid the number, its behind the form], and got someone right away.  Her name was Cathy and was super helpful.  Apparently many people have been calling in about it and she said this doesnt affect 99% of the population.  She said to just review IT-558 and see if any of those apply.  If not, we have 2 options, leave it without responding and NYS will just process your submission or create an account on their site and submit it with all 0 (assuming none of that applies to you).  She said only 1 person she spoke with applied out of the many that called.  Its all partnerships, shareholders, trusts stuff that didnt apply to me.

Thank you for this reply for anyone else who may need it! I did the same thing as @evanshorey a couple of days ago, which was to submit with all 0. Glad to know that's OK in their book. Still, I wonder why NYS asked for the form and TurboTax didn't.

I am confused on my form it-558. I tried to amend my return and have nothing on form 558. When i put the form up to print it keeps steering me to 203 or 204. I am not sure what to do. I have to call ny on monday, i have tried irs but no answering. Does anyone here know how to fix this problem. My agi is correct, i got on to the irs website.help please

I apologize that I am just now seeing this post or I would have responded sooner. Your best option is not to try and fill out the form on TT. Just download IT-558 Form and manually fill it out and send it in to NY. If you try and amend through TT, it is way too confusing and in all actuality, you aren't really amending your taxes. You are simply sending in a missing for that NY is asking for. I hope this makes sense.
