E-File in NYS withTurboTax Premier

[wigle-harris]

Is there an additional cost to e-file in New York State when using TurboTax Premier?  The sales description is not super clear and I have read that NYS has mandated access to e-file at no additional cost.  Thanks for your help! I'm just trying to understand what it will cost to do my taxes.

No, there is no additional cost to e-file your state of NY return when using TurboTax Premier desktop version or the online version. However, all other states will have an e-file fee when using desktop software. 

If you are in the CD/Download desktop version, go here https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/deluxe.jsp and click on Federal and state under the price. That opens a pop-up box that will have "E-file fees do not apply to New York state returns." at the very bottom.

There are no e-file fees when using the TurboTax online editions, federal or state.  The TurboTax online account fee are for the use of the software to assist in completing a tax return.  The fees are the same whether the tax return is e-filed or printed for mailing.

I'm using the deluxe desktop edition, not the deluxe online version.

Why I can not select to e filing NY State tax only? My TurboTax version did not show the option to select

e filing NY State tax ?

[scheng01]

I completed Fed, NY & NJ tax returns,  I want to select NY State e filing only, but TurboTax did not provide the 

option.

@scheng01  Which program are you using?  Why do you not wish to e-file your NJ tax return also?

[molemod]

does the free efile for NYS still apply for the tax year 2021?

Is this because NYS has the efile mandate for all tax preparers?

Yes, you will not be charged to efile your NYS return.

Hello,

If I purchase the Premier MAC download version from Costco will I be able to complete BOTH Federal and NEW YORK state Efile for Free?  For all 4 Family members?

It says it comes with 1 free state but on this thread it says no charge for NY state. Could someone help me clarify please? 

Thank you,

Correct, there is not a state e-file fee for a New York state income tax return when using the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions.  There are also 5 free federal e-files included with the desktop program.  Once the 5 e-files have been used then any further federal and state tax returns have to be printed and mailed.
