Do I have to file my New York State taxes through the mail? Basically I moved last year and NYS requires me to do my taxes online but TurboTax requires me to mail them in

What is the reason given for having to mail in your state return? 

If you have to supply a form by attaching a PDF file to your New York State return, please see Certain New York credits require a PDF attachment and TurboTax CD/Download.

Otherwise, if you cannot e-file your New York State return on TurboTax, it is likely that one of the forms needed for your return is not available to be e-filed. In this case, you are allowed to mail in your New York State return. 

Per NYS, you're only required to electronically file your return if you meet all three of the following conditions:

• You use software to prepare your own personal income tax return
• Your software supports the electronic filing of your return
• You have broadband Internet access

Since TurboTax does not support electronic filing of one of your forms, you do not meet all of the three requirements above and can mail in your return. In addition, there is no penalty for mailing in your return. 

If you are NOT including a payment, mail your return to:

STATE PROCESSING CENTER

PO BOX 61000

ALBANY NY 12261-0001

If you ARE including a payment (check or money order), mail your return (including Form IT-201-V) to:

STATE PROCESSING CENTER

PO BOX 15555

ALBANY NY 12212-5555
