Most taxpayers who use software to prepare their income tax returns must also e-file.  Half of New York State taxpayers qualify to e-file their federal and state returns at no cost this year through Free File.

Learn if the e-file requirement applies to you.

• Direct deposit of a tax refund
• Automatic calculation reduces math errors
• Saving paper helps the environment
• Secure and confidential
• Confirmation that your return was received and accepted (directly to you -- or the tax preparer who e-files for you)

Make the switch. It makes sense.
