NY State File online vs. via mail penalties

[stanleytady]

Hello, unfortunately on 4/15 when I was filing my taxes, TurboTax wouldn't let me file my NY State taxes online (just my Federal). I unfortunately missed the date to physically mail my materials in which I know TurboTax doesn't recommend. Since I had missed the date and mailed in the letter late, are there any tax or financial consequences that you guys are aware of that I may be subject to? Thank you! 

Take care & have a great day ~~

It depends on when your state return was received by NYS and your balance due. If you file late, New York State will charge a penalty unless you have a valid extension of time to file.

The penalty charge is:

• 5% of the tax due for each month (or part of a month) the return is late, up to a maximum of 25%.
• If your return is more than 60 days late, your minimum penalty is the lesser of $100 or the total amount due on the return.

For more information, please see Interest and Penalties. You can also use this Penalty and Interest Calculator to calculate your estimated amount due.
