New York Income Taxes and State Tax Forms

State income tax returns vary significantly across different states. Some states impose high tax rates but offer numerous deductions to offset them, while others do not levy income taxes at all. Due to these variations, preparing state tax returns can be complex. However, filing your taxes online can streamline the process and potentially save you time and money. Read below for further details on New York taxes.

  • State return only regulations*): Per IRS and New York state tax agency regulation - not eFile.com - you can NOT just prepare and e-File a state return (with the exception of California) without also e-filing the IRS return on the same platform. If you have filed your federal return already, you can prepare a New York state return on eFile.com and then download, print, and sign the return before you mail it in. See instructions on ONLY preparing a New York and/or other state tax return.
  • File your IRS and state returns together so you do not need to worry about mailing anything.
