Ready to mail

Some New York residents who e-filed in the past will have to mail New York returns this year because Form NY IT-2, Summary of Form W-2 Statements, can no longer be e-filed.

Print, sign and mail your New York return. Send it by certified mail with return receipt so you have proof of delivery.
