Yes, amended returns can be e-filed for New York and Vermont state returns (not federal returns) only. You will check the status of it on your state's website. And you can go here How do I track my New York tax refund? to get details on tracking state refunds for NY.

It is also recommended to wait until your state has accepted, processed and you have received your state refund before you amend the return. Or if you owe them, you want to pay them before amending return. Do not make any changes in the return before then.

You can find steps here I need to amend my state return for how to amend state return without amending the federal one.

Can I e-file an amended state return?

I am trying to file my Federal and NY State amendment for 2017. I know I have to file my federal amendment by mail but NY amendment is required to be efiled. Turbotax takes me through all the steps but when its time to file - it cant seem to do it and says that efile window closed on October 15th 2018. I understand that October 15th 2018 was efile window for your taxes, but not for your amendments. Any ideas?

I’m having the same issue that you had. Did you ever find a remedy?

The ONLINE system is closed for the conversion to the 2019 program ... your only option is to mail in all amended returns at this time.

I have been attempting to efile an amendment on last years NY taxes (2018).

The program will not let me efile. There is a glitch in the programming. On the Consent to Disclosure page> The Today's Date box is the issue. When you enter the date, the box becomes highlighted in red, and a red error message appears below stating, "Date entered must be on or before 12/01/2019". When you change the date to a date on or before 12/01/2019, the box is again highlighted in red, and the message changes to: "Date entered must be on or after today".

This is at the end of the 2018, Amend page series, so I am in the right place, and all is filled out.

To compound the issue - The Federal amendment prints fine for mailing. The NY state amended return, however, will not efile as stated above, and also will not print. The program goes into a loop if you try to print to mail in the NY amended return, and it simply will not give you the option to print.

I have tried three browser software versions - both on MAC and PC.

You cannot e-file any kind of 2018 return from TurboTax. The only way you can file a 2018 return of any kind now is to print, sign and mail it. Don't stress yourself out trying to e-file it. You cannot do it.

Need the address for a mailed NY return?
