Turbotax is not letting me E file my New York State taxes but New York state does not allow you to mail it in! My federal return was E files and accepted.

Unfortunately that was a dead link for me, but thanks for sharing.

What are you wanting to change @arisac?   This is a long thread filled with suggestions...   If you want to start a new thread, use this link.  

 

If you cannot file on time, you can file for an extension through NYS.   @Maudlynne


You're required to electronically file your return if you meet all three of the following conditions:

 

  • you use software to prepare your own personal income tax return; and
  • your software supports the electronic filing of your return; and
  • you have broadband Internet access.

 

E-file Mandate:

 

  • The cost of tax preparation software always includes the e-filing service; New York State law prohibits additional charges.
  • You are not required to electronically file if you:
    • download forms from our website,
    • pick up forms at your local library, or
    • order forms from us by phone.

If you are receiving an error message that is preventing filing your New York return, you may have a form 5695, Residential Energy Credit, or New York form  IT-255 in your program from a previous year. If you know that it does not apply to you for 2022, you can delete the forms as follows:

 

To remove the solar and wind energy carryover from your NY return, please follow the steps below:

 

  1. Open your return.
  2. Click on State on the left-hand side.
  3. Continue through the return.
  4. On the page, Take a look at New York credits and taxes, scroll down to Unused Solar Energy Credit Carryover from Prior Years.
  5. Delete any zeros that have been populated on the screen.
  6. Click on Tax Tools on the left-hand side.
  7. Click on Tools.
  8. Click on Delete a Form. Review the lists of forms to find the one(s) to delete.
  9. Delete Form IT-255 and the IT-255 credit worksheet .

If you are working in the download TurboTax program, use the Forms Mode on your menu bar to bring up the form you want to delete, then choose the Delete Form option at the bottom of the form.
