New York State Mandate Tax professionals authorized to e-file federal tax returns and who are using software approved by the NYS Tax Department can e-file New York tax returns. There is no application process to participate in the New York e-file program. You must e-file beginning on January 1, 2008, if you are a return preparer who prepared 100 or more income tax returns for tax year 2006 in calendar year 2007, or has been mandated to file in the past. Preparers who were subject to the mandate in a previous year or who file more than 100 (combined Personal and Partnership) original returns in the previous calendar year, and who use tax preparation software are required to e-file returns.
