If you’re a tax return preparer , you’re subject to the e-file mandate. Are you a preparer?
Yes, NYS does have an e-file mandate for preparers. However, as an individual, while NYS would prefer you to e-file, there are certain forms that TurboTax does not support for e-filing and therefore a mailed in return would be necessary.
Without seeing the forms you are preparing in your return there is no way I can determine why the system is telling you to mail in your return. If you would prefer, if you could send us a diagnostic token we can see the return in more detail. Be assured that no personal information is included in the diagnostic copy. Just the data entries. For us to receive the diagnostic copy we need you to follow the following steps if you are using TurboTax online (I will list the steps for TurboTax desktop below):
If you are using TurboTax desktop, please use the following steps:
Once we receive this, we should be able to look closer at the issue you are having and hopefully come to a resolution.
