Missing NY State Forms

I don't see IT-242 on the forms availability schedule:

Is there some misc way to attach such forms for tax year 2020 and 2021?

Thanks.

I'm going to enter it as other credit "302" and paper file. Annoying that I can't override the IT-242 spot on the form but its all locked down.

I tracked down NY Pub 93, "New York State Modernized e-File (MeF) Guide For Return Preparers For Tax Year 2021". I also tracked down TurboTax's list of supported forms for their personal tax products.

The MeF Guide clearly says pdf attachments are no longer supported.

The MeF guide clearly says IT-242 is supported and the software must fully support it, including e-file, if it supports it at all.

The TTax supported forms list clearly says if a form isn't listed it isn't supported. IT-242 is NOT on the list.

So anybody with a conservation easement credit is stuck filing by paper or finding a paid preparer with software that DOES support the form fully - Intuit's professional products support IT-242 as well as lots of the other misc. credit forms; no idea how user-friendly they make it though.

BTW I have access to TaxSlayer Pro Online (used for VITA tax prep), it doesn't support IT-242 either - you can code the summary amount onto IT-201-ATT as code 302 but you get a warning that NY e-file is not possible.

No. TurboTax does not support Form IT-242.

They took it out this year? It has worked for passed years where you attach as a PDF and fill in the number. Why was it removed?

I think that means I need to use some whiteout and paper file it or put it on the wrong line so that at least it goes in the calculation and then use the "Other Certificate or Attachment" to get the PDF into the submission.
