I am getting an error when I try to print my forms.
*You can view and print your forms by logging onto our website from ANY computer using your username and password.
We use Adobe Acrobat to open and print your tax forms. Some users have trouble if they do not have the latest version of Acrobat installed. Occasionally, a user still has trouble even after reinstalling Acrobat. If that happens, right-click on the link that opens the Acrobat file and choose "Save Target As", save the form onto your desktop. Then, double-click the Adobe PDF icon that will be displayed on your desktop. This will open the file outside of your web browser and should allow you to view and print your forms.
We have discovered that customers may have problems opening some forms. This is due to differences in operating systems or Adobe Acrobat Reader Versions.
You can download the newest version of Acrobat Reader by going to:Adobe Acrobat.
If you still have problems printing, please contact Customer Service for assistance.

Once the source of the problem is identified, go to that section of your return and correct the error. After the correction has been made, you will need to save and continue all the way through the return again and resubmit. * If you are making a correction in the Federal return and you are also filing a state return please select to EDIT your state return and save and continue through that section as well.

How do I file a State Only return?
E-Filing of State only returns is not allowed. New York is an exception, state only E-file is allowed. You can prepare a state only return, but would be required to print and mail it in to file upon completion. All Federal inputs are required as this is how the state portion is calculated. You will first be required to complete the online interview as if you were filing a federal return. Next, you will complete the online interview for your state(s). Once completed, you will review, print and mail the forms in to the state(s).
