E-filing New York State Returns

[stevesmith]

New York State says that all tax returns must be e-filed and that paper filings won’t be accepted. They also mention that e-filing to the state is free and included in the cost of tax software like TurboTax. Is this actually true? When filing a New York State return through TurboTax, does it automatically include e-filing, or do you still have to pay extra for that feature?

It’s faster, more accurate, and provides instant confirmation. Eligible filers can use Free File options, and refunds are processed more quickly than paper filings.

Commercial software, the state's Direct File for qualified filers, and the Free File for qualified lower-income taxpayers are among the options. If you use tax preparation software, you must e-file.
