Can I submit a NY State Return prepared on Turbo Tax by mail? My spouse is a NRA with no SSN.

I am confused as to whether I can mail in the returns I prepared with Turbo Tax. The NY returns say you have to e-file if you prepared the taxes using software and not to handwrite in NRA in the SSN section either. Does anyone know what I should do?

New York prefers e-filed returns, but there are certain circumstances that make it necessary for you to file your NY return by mail and the state DOES allow mailed returns. If you could not or did not e-file your federal return then your NY return cannot be e-filed. It has to be mailed. It is not possible to e-file any state return if the federal return was not e-filed and accepted by the IRS.
