Taxpayers can take advantage of an array of helpful and money-saving resources, such as free tax preparation and filing software, answers to common questions, and guidance to ensure a smooth process. “If you requested an automatic six-month extension of time to file your personal income tax returns, your deadline is quickly approaching,” said Acting Commissioner Amanda Hiller. “Using the online resources at www.tax.ny.gov and following the checklist below can help ease the filing process and ensure you claim any credits you’re eligible to receive or refund due.” Make it simple First, use this checklist to gather the documents and information necessary to file a return.
Make it fast E-filing is safer, faster, and more efficient than sending paper returns through the mail.
