NYS now requires that a single member LLC using TurboTax file form IT-204-LL electronically. But, where is this form? Thank you.

Using the Home & Business desktop version together with the "quick employer forms" online.

New York Form IT-204-LL is available in the state partnership module for TurboTax Business. According to the Forms Availability Table for TurboTax Business, this form is available for both e-filing and filing by mail.

If that form is only in Turbotax Business, that means that Turbotax (personal version) can't prepare a tax return for a single member LLC as a disregarded entity.  Something seems wrong about that.  Either NY screwed up, or Turbotax is missing important functionality.

States are looking for all the $$ they can possibly collect.

While a disregarded entity, single member LLC, is required to file the form IT-204-LL, based on the instructions to the form, you are not required to file this form electronically.

The electronic mandate (E-file mandate) in the instructions references "partnerships".  Your single member LLC is not a partnership.

I would print off the form and instructions from the NY website, complete the form, include the $25 fee and mail it in.  The instructions reflect the mailing address.

Send the form and payment certified mail return receipt.

Form IT-204-LL is not an attachment to your income tax return. It has to be filed separately. The apparent purpose of the form is to collect an annual fee from LLCs and partnerships.
