NYS form IT-204-LL

[imageprods]

I've been fighting this battle for a month. They are useless. Go ahead and mail it as a penalty should not be assessed if TT can't efile and if even there is I read it's only $50. TT is the worst.

I ended up mailing paper copies to NY state today and attached a note saying Turbotax Business is not approved for e-filing IT-204-LL and hence the paper copies.  Let's see if they charge a penalty after all this.  I cross-checked that there has been no money debited from my account from TT for the IT-204-LL. 

If there are suggestions on other methods for next year, I would be very interested.  I have been using TT for over a decade and would not have looked to change if not for failures such as this......

I am in the exact same situation.  I didn't realize my filing fee didn't go through until I checked my bank account this afternoon.  I will be mailing the paper form, a check, and a letter of explanation in the morning... A day late and who knows how many dollars short.

I am also interested in recommendations for alternative software for next year.  

I had no indication that my filing fee was not sent and had received a payment confirmation screen prior to e-filing my return on the 12th. (Forms weren't even available until 3/10 this year?!?)

Hopefully NYS refrains from hitting me with any late fees or paper filing penalties.  Based on what I have read here and what I was told by a representative on the phone I feel that Intuit should be footing the bill for any potential fees assessed or at least offer to refund the TurboTax Business purchase price.  Their product was defective this year and their own website and state form availability tables claim it is is capable of e-filing NY IT-204-LL  when it apparently was never even approved by NYS for doing so.

Is consensus here that eFile for IT-204-LL does not work? I entered 8 on 3/13/23 and have yet to see funds draw from the bank. Also have not received filing confirmation email or anything. I would rather not pay this fee twice as some entities were assessed +$500. 

For those wondering: I have filed this form late several times and via paper. I have never once had NYS assess fees or penalty for late filing or not efiling. I believe NY is aware of that lack of efile support for this form, especially for those that file taxes themselves. This form should be available to efile on the NYS website, not through providers.

You may wish to print out paper Form IT-204-LL, Partnership, Limited Liability Company, and Limited Liability Partnership Filing Fee Payment Form (Instructions) and mail with payment.

Note that TurboTax Business is listed as an approved software to e-file Form IT-204-LL.

I am assuming it's not working because the money has not been withdrawn and have gotten no confirmation from TT or NY state.  I mailed a separate form and check by snail mail.

I agree, NY state has to provide a way to efile this form instead of depending on other software providers.

No, it's not!  Look in the 2022 column for Turbotax Business.  There is no check mark.

You guys are clueless. Up to and including March 15th you've stated this can be efiled and paid via TurboTax which is just plain not true. Why even reply if you're going to be misleading? Do you even know what this form is? TurboTax has completely misled every since NY business customer and should refund the purchase of the software as your claims are just untrue. NY State in black and white says TurboTax Business is NOT an authorized efiler.

FINALLY, Turbotax is admitting they messed up.  Glad I filed paper copies.

Turbo Tax is aweful. They delay the availability of this form until a few days before the filing due date and then two months later they tell you they got it wrong. This form is not complicated. It's a basic form. The fact that they can't get this right is astonishing!!
