Preparing a State Return

You may wonder, “how do I file my state tax return?”

With our website, the only information you need is your state income and withholding amounts. This is found on your income statements, such as your W-2 in boxes 16 and 17. We use the income reported in the Income section, as well as the state questionaire in the State Info section to prepare your state return.

For current year taxes, you can e-file your state taxes or file them by mail. However, you might not be able to e-file prior-year state taxes. If so, you will receive a PDF copy to print, sign, and mail to your state’s Department of Revenue. Mailing instructions are provided within your account.

If your state does not have state income tax, you do not need to prepare a state tax return. Click here for more information.

If you have already filed your federal return with us and need to file your state return for the same tax year, click on Additional Services or the “Add a State Return” tab within your account page and follow the prompts.
