\"\"New York State has begun accepting income tax<\/strong> returns.<\/p>\n

The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance<\/strong> states if your 2021 income is $73,000 or less, you can file both your federal and New York State returns at no cost through the Tax Department website using Free File<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The department said nearly 255,000 taxpayers used this software last year, which saved them a combined $51 million in tax preparation fees.<\/p>\n

Those who make over $73,000 can visit https:\/\/www.tax.ny.gov\/pit\/efile\/other-efile-options.htm<\/a> for other filing options.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re ready to file, the Department of Taxation and Finance suggests you first gather information and documentation. If you received unemployment compensation, remember to request a Form 1099-G from the Department of Labor.<\/p>\n

After you file, get the most up-to-date information about your refund and your return at https:\/\/www.tax.ny.gov\/pit\/file\/refund.htm<\/a> or, if necessary, call (518) 457-5149.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
