Senator Lavalle Encourages Electronic Tax Filing
January 25, 2010
(New York,N.Y.)-Senator Kenneth P. LaValle is encouraging taxpayers to
file their 2010 personal income tax returns electronically. The
Department of Taxation and Finance has reported that nearly 95
percent of New York taxpayers are filing electronically with no adverse
effects.
“The Tax Department has found that the number of taxpayers using
paper forms decreases each year, which has saved nearly $1 million in
printing and postage,” said Senator LaValle. “The Tax Department will be
mailing postcards to those still filing paper forms to encourage them to
file electronically.”
Senator LaValle will have a small supply of tax forms available at
his district office for those who wish to file a paper form and cannot
download the form from the Tax Department’s web site. Local libraries
should also have some paper forms on hand. However, Senator LaValle is
encouraging taxpayers to use the Tax Department’s web site, www.nystax.gov,
as their primary source of information for filing their upcoming tax
returns.
The Tax Department also will save money by providing Form 1099G,
Statement for Recipient of State Income Tax Refunds electronically.
Beginning January 30, 2010, taxpayers will be able to find the amount of
their 2008 New York State tax refund by visiting the web site at
www.nystax.gov. You may also call 518-485-0799 or 1-866-698-2946 for
telephone assistance on or after the January 30th date.
In addition, the IRS and New York State would like people to be aware
that they may be eligible to receive the Earned Income Tax Credit. Please
visit the state web site at http://www.otda.state.ny.us/main/reform/ for
more information.
