NYS e-file

This is total ridiculous.  The forms are ready to efile but we can not print them.  Lets your act together Intuit.  I have clients that want to file their returns but since we can not print them yet the can not review the returns.  What good is efileing if we can not print.

The date keeps moving out for NYS was Jan 26 then 29, 31 and now Feb 5.

I used ProSeries for many many years i.e. greater then 25 to do both personal and business returns but about 5  years ago I migrated all of the business returns to Drake because ProSeries prices were getting ridiculous.  Since I purchase the complete Drake package each year (which is way less than ProSeries wants for just the 1065/1120 package) I tried a couple of personal returns on it for clients who are in a hurry to get their returns filed bcause they are leaving for warmer climates.  I got them e-filed on the 26th with absolutely no problems.  Needless to say this is my last year for ProSeries.  And, I am now starting to use Drake accounting this year so goodbye Quickbooks also.. 

I spoke to an accountant that uses TaxAct. She has filed over 26 returns already, came back acknowledged. This problem seems to be that we just can't print NYS at all. 
I think we can efile, but without a copy for the client to review, that would be a bad idea. 

I just called and complained again. They still insist it's NYS that's holding things up. There is literally no work about on this. We simply can't print NYS at all. 
I think everyone should take a few minutes and call and complain to Intuit about this. Squeaky wheels might get heard. 

The NYS Department of Taxation and Finance has a web page showing what software is approved.  Some programs (like TaxAct and Drake) are approved for 2025. Others are not:

So when Intuit says "the problem is with NYS," what they mean is "the problem is that NYS has not yet approved our software, and either we don't know why or we aren't going to tell you."

Katie,

The primary goal here is to allow us to print the forms so they can be provided to our clients for review and acceptance. Since these forms are approved for e-file, they are not being mailed to the state agency, which makes client copies essential.

We agree that applying a watermark to avoid confusion is a reasonable solution. However, completely disabling printing when e-file is allowed creates a significant operational issue. This needs to be resolved as soon as possible, and more importantly, it must be addressed in a way that is allowable for future years so we do not face the same problem again in 2026.

Please ensure this issue is escalated to the appropriate teams immediately and that printing access is restored as soon as possible. The current limitation is negatively impacting a large number of preparers, disrupting workflows, and costing firms potential business and credibility with clients.

We appreciate prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a timely resolution.
