Free filing resources
Using filing resources from the Tax Department can make completing and submitting your return on time fast, secure, and even free if you qualify.
Depending on your income and other criteria, you may qualify to use Free File software to e-file both your federal and state returns—at no cost. To avoid fees, carefully review eligibility criteria for each software provider and access the Free File software directly from our website.
Additionally, New York State and the IRS are testing a new program—Direct File—that allows eligible New Yorkers who report certain types of income, credits, and adjustments to file their state and federal income tax returns for free. To see if you’re eligible to participate in the pilot, visit New York eligibility for Direct File.
If you don’t qualify for Free File or Direct File, you still have choices that may work for you! Visit Other e-file options to learn more.
