Income tax filing season is underway. The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance has begun processing income tax returns, including those submitted using the Free File software available on the Tax Department website, https://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/efile/.
Those whose 2021 income is $73,000 or less can file both their federal and New York State returns at no cost through the Tax Department website using Free File. Nearly 255,000 taxpayers used this software last year, saving them a combined $51 million in tax preparation fees.
“I encourage all eligible taxpayers to take advantage of Free File—a secure and efficient way to file and reap significant savings,” said Acting Commissioner Amanda Hiller. “Each year, more New Yorkers discover and extol the benefits of this service.”
