E-File Prior Year NY State Tax Return

in State Filing

I made a mistake on my 2023 NY State tax return, and I will need to submit an amended NY State tax return (to change my residency status from full-year to part-year resident) to claim a refund. There are no mistakes on my federal return, and I did not file my taxes for the 2023 tax year with FreeTaxUSA.

I see that it is possible to file an amended state return from a previous tax year here. However, it looks like FreeTaxUSA makes you mail the amended return. According to NY State, they accept e-filed amended returns. Is it possible to e-file my amended 2023 NY State tax return with FreeTaxUSA?

Thank you.

    Thank you for joining our community Harrison.

    The simple answer is no. We are unable to isolate and E-File, your 2023 NY Amendment. We also cannot provide a way to change your state residency status with the Amendment. Please see the explanation below.

    FreeTaxUSA E-Filing protocols require that the Federal E-Filing be included in the process of E-Filing each State. Meaning that you would be required to E-File any Federal returns to be able to E-File the NY state. Also, our software doesn't provide a way to change your state residency on the amendment.

    The best advice that we can provide is that you find an alternate tax software provider that is capable of making these changes on Amendment and can offer E-filing services for state amendments.
