If you cannot file on time, you can request an automatic extension of time to file.

How to request your extension

• You can complete your request for free using New York's online service.
• You must e-file your extension if you prepare your extension using software that supports e-file.
• If your paid preparer is required to e-file your tax return, and is also preparing your extension request, the preparer must e-file your extension request.

Through TurboTax:

1. Sign in - Continue your/take me to my return or pick up where I left off 
   
   NOTE: If you already filed, you won't see the above. Instead -  Go to Tax Timeline, then Add a state under Some things you can do (this allows you to make edits/changes).
2. Go State Taxes, Your State Returns - continue/edit/revisit New York
3. Continue through the New York return until you get to Additional Tax Situations (pictured below). Under Other Forms You May Need, Request Extension of Time to File
   

If you've already completed the New York return, follow steps 1 & 2, then scroll to Other Forms and Voluntary Contributions, update Other Forms (pictured below)

When I clicked the link to file a NY state extension, the site I landed on didn’t recognize the information I entered, so I couldn’t file the extension. The information was taken directly from TT filing information.
