Yes, Form IT-558 is currently available. This NYS tax form will be automatically added to your return in TurboTax, if necessary. Since you are using TurboTax online, you can only see the NYS tax summary. There is no line item specifically for Form IT-558 on the TurboTax NYS summary. Adjustments from your Form IT-558 will be grouped in with your other New York State Additions and New York Subtractions, if applicable. Once you e-file, it should be with the forms of the return.

To see your state summary, please follow these steps in TurboTax:

Open your return.
Click on Tax Tools.
Click on Tools.
Click on View Tax Summary under Other helpful links.
Click on NY Tax Summary.
The second line, titled Adjustments to income, is where adjustments from your IT-558 would be seen.
