Other e-file options
If your 2016 income was more than $64,000, you are not eligible to use Free File software to prepare and e-file your state return. However, you may purchase approved commercial software (or use a paid preparer) to prepare and e-file your state return.
You may still e-file your federal return for free. Visit the IRS at Free File to learn more.
Purchase approved commercial software
Use an approved software provider to prepare and e-file your federal and state return together.
See Approved commercial software providers for a list of e-file software providers you can use.
Use a paid tax preparer to e-file
Most tax preparers are required to electronically file their clients' New York State tax returns. By law, preparers may not charge you extra for electronically filing your New York State return.
See Tips for hiring a tax preparer for guidance about choosing your preparer.
