Financial Education Program

Welcome

This Financial Education Program was designed for you. As we listen to your feedback, we look for ways to make it easier for you to understand the benefits available to you and the responsibilities you have as a taxpayer. The Program is part of our broader mission to serve you, the taxpayers of New York State, and improve your interactions with our department. 

The Program is broken into seven modules, covering a wide range of issues—from filing requirements and tax credits to predatory tax preparers and free tax filing options. At the end of each module and at the end of the course, you'll have an opportunity to download and personalize a Certificate of Completion. We’d also appreciate your feedback in the survey at the end of the course. Let us know what we're doing right and where we can improve.
