NYS individual extension IT-370

[ttbtaxes]

If a taxpayer owes money with their normal NYS income tax return, IT-201, it can be paid by check with a voucher. No problem.

Strangely enough, NYS requires that a balance due on the extension, Form IT-370, that is e-filed by a tax preparer, must be paid electronically.

The taxpayer can't opt out as NYS does not allow an opt out.

Has anyone had any problems before sending in the payment by mail?

Get his account # and have it deducted from his account. What is the problem?

If client refuses, send payment by check with a copy of the extension. It it what it is, client's problem.
