It is possible that you are not able to e-file due to having Form IT-2, Summary of Wages, on your state return. This form is unsupported by TurboTax and cannot be e-filed. Currently, it is a form that is only available to be printed.

 

Taxpayers must complete Form IT-2 if they file a New York State (NYS) income tax return and received at least one W-2, Wage and Tax Statement. 

 

Per NYS, you're required to electronically file your return only if you meet all three of the following conditions:

  • You use software to prepare your own personal income tax return
  • Your software supports the electronic filing of your return (including all forms necessary)
  • You have broadband Internet access. 

Since you do not meet all three of the above conditions, you can mail your return. NYS does not assess a penalty for mailing in your return. 

 

If you are NOT including a payment, mail your return to:

STATE PROCESSING CENTER

PO BOX 61000

ALBANY NY 12261-0001

 

If you ARE including a payment (check or money order), mail your return (including Form IT-201-V) to:

STATE PROCESSING CENTER

PO BOX 15555

ALBANY NY 12212-5555
