can't efile New York tx rt

[tc32]

Can'tefile NY tx rt because I was forced to mail my Federal return

Won't NY fine me?

Any special filing instructions when mailing the NY return other than what the NY instructions say?

New York prefers e-filed returns, but there are certain circumstances that make it necessary for you to file your NY return by mail and the state DOES allow mailed returns.    If you could not or did not e-file your federal return then your NY return cannot be e-filed.   It has to be mailed.   It is not possible to e-file any state return if the federal return was not e-filed and accepted by the IRS.
