File a valid return

If the paper form you are using has a year under the New York State map in the upper-left corner, you can only use that form for that tax year.

To file a complete return, you must:

complete all required schedules and forms that make up your return,

include all pages of those forms and schedules when you file,

submit only those forms and schedules that apply to your return, and

confirm you made all required entries.

If you submit your return with missing pages or missing entries, we cannot process it and you may be subject to penalty and interest.
