Responding
to the needs of the mobile generation, the New York State Department of
Taxation and Finance provides eligible New York State taxpayers the
option of electronically filing their income taxes directly from their
smartphone or tablet at tax.ny.gov.
The Tax
Department’s website is mobile responsive—it automatically adjusts to
fit your device’s screen—and puts tax preparation and refund updates in
the palm of your hand.
“New Yorkers
are on the go, and we’re right there with them,” said New York State
Commissioner of Taxation and Finance Jerry Boone. “We encourage you to
take advantage of our mobile-responsive website to e-file your taxes and
check your refund status with ease and convenience. Use your phone or
tablet anywhere, whether relaxing in a café or on your couch.”
You can now do the following from your mobile device: prepare your federal and state return (for free if your income is under $62,000); quickly check the status of your refund; sign up for email alerts about your refund; access all of the helpful information available at tax.ny.gov.
The Tax
Department’s mobile-ready website design provides taxpayers with easy
navigation and faster download speed. Nearly 800,000 taxpayers—including
more than 150,000 mobile users—access the Tax Department’s website each
week during the income tax season. More than half of the users who
check their refund status or sign up for refund email alerts on the Tax Department website are mobile users.
Check your refund
Instead of calling the Tax Department for your refund status, avoid wait times and go directly to our website to receive the same up-to-the-minute information available to our call center representatives.
The refund
status tool is available anytime with the touch of a button. The tool is
updated daily to provide the most up to date information about a
taxpayer’s refund.
It also
provides a timeframe for each step in the processing of your return—from
receipt of the return to the issue date and amount of the refund.
Sign up for email alerts
Refund updates are also available by signing up for Tax Department email alerts.
