The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance and the IRS have begun processing income tax returns, including those submitted using the Free File software available on the Tax Department website.
Those with a 2022 income of $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, https://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/file/. Hundreds of thousands of New York State taxpayers take advantage of this free service each year, saving on tax preparation fees.
“Too often, taxpayers who use commercial tax preparation software are surprised by charges for additional fees while completing their annual filing,” said Acting Commissioner Amanda Hiller. “For a truly free experience, come to the New York State Tax Department website where there are no added costs or hidden fees – ever.”
Free File is available in multiple languages, including Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Bengali, Haitian Creole, Korean, and Yiddish.
Those with a 2022 income above $73,000 can learn about other e-file options at https://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/efile/other-efile-options.htm.
