That's correct because you can't setup installment payment plans with any DIY tax software for Federal or State taxes.

You'll find information for setting up a payment plan with New York, at the following link: https://www.tax.ny.gov/pay/all/ipa.htm

You'll see options to request the plan online or call to set it up. Some states require you to wait until you receive a bill, but NY doesn't specifically state that although it looks like you'll need a bill to call in a request (so try the online request first to set it up before getting a bill).
