Unable to find "New York County" as an option from the pull down menu of these counties listed from "Find New York County".

Are you referring to the screen at the beginning of the New York State interview in TurboTax that is headed "Tell Us Your New York County" (note, the wording may vary between TurboTax versions). If so, do you see the statement, "Select New York City if you lived in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, or Staten Island"?

 

Or are you talking about a different screen? If so, can you tell us where it is in the interview?

Are you saying that you do not live in Manhattan? New York County and Manhattan are coextensive (i.e., have the same boundaries). 

 

"New York County is also known as Manhattan. The county consists mostly of Manhattan Island and includes small islands, as well as Marble Hill on the mainland." See this New York State website.
