Choose an online service
We offer a number of online services to fit your busy lifestyle. Check your payment balance, file a return, make a payment, or respond to a department notice—anywhere, anytime.
Learn about STAR benefits for homeowners
If you've recently bought a home, or never applied for the STAR benefit on your current home, you should investigate the STAR options available to you. You may save hundreds each year!
Use Sales Tax Web File
Log in to your Business Online Services account to Web File your sales tax returns. With Web File, you can schedule payments in advance, save your bank account information for future use, and update your business information.
Quick Pay—no Online Services account required!
You or your business can use Quick Pay to make a payment toward a bill, notice, or installment payment agreement (IPA) for free directly from your bank account.
Respond to a department notice
If you receive a bill or notice, respond online. It's the easiest, fastest way. We'll walk you through the process.
Note: If your refund status says we sent you a letter requesting additional information, see Respond to a letter for more information and to review our checklists of acceptable proof.
Benefit from good recordkeeping
Whether you’ve already filed or are keeping track of documentation for next year, our recordkeeping pages are a great resource.
Good records help you determine which credits and deductions you qualify for, and serve as documentation if we need to verify information on your return.
What's New
Did you receive an income request letter (Form RP-5300-WSC) for STAR?
We’re sending letters to certain STAR recipients to confirm their income and determine which STAR benefit they’re entitled to.
If you received Form RP-5300-WSC, the fastest and easiest way to respond is online.
E-file for income tax is closed
You cannot submit e-filed income tax returns until the new filing season opens in 2026. We anticipate the season will open in late January.
Until then, if you still need to file your 2024 income tax return, you can file a paper return.
Did you receive a letter (TR-210) about a possible income tax refund?
If you received Form TR-210, you may be entitled to a refund for the tax year stated on the letter. The refund might be from withholding amounts from a previous job, or an overpayment or carry-forward from a previous tax year.
To claim a refund, you must file an income tax return for the year stated on the letter. The option to claim a refund for tax year 2022 expires April 20, 2026. If you don't file a return by this date, you will lose any refund you may be entitled to for this tax year.
