How to File an Extension of New York State Taxes
- 1). Go online to the New York Department of Taxation and Finance website (see resources) and click "Apply for a personal income tax extension (Forms IT-370 and IT-370-PF)".
- 2). Complete the online form IT-370. In order to complete the form, you will need your identifying information and an estimate of how much you will owe in taxes if you are not expecting a refund.
- 3). Print the paper form IT-370 (available at taxbrain.com/taxcenter/extensions/ny.asp) if you cannot or prefer not to enter personal information online. If you are including a check or money order to pay your taxes, the form should be mailed to:
Extension Request, PO Box 4125
Binghamton NY 13902-4125
If you are not enclosing payment, you should mail the form to:
Extension Request--NR
PO Box 4126, Binghamton NY 13902-4126. - 4). Pay at least 90 percent of what you expect to owe when you file form IT-370. If you do not make this payment, you will be charged interest and penalties on the amount you owe. If you expect a refund, you can skip this step.
