New York allows additional estimates to be filed with an electronically filed amended return. To include additional estimates with the amended return electronic file, the following steps must be completed prior to creating the e-file for the amended tax return. These estimates will not replace any previously filed estimates and should only be filed to increase the future quarterly payments.

  1. In Screen NYELFEst, choose 1 in the Payment Method field.
  2. Mark the I have read the certification above and agree field for each payment being made at this time.
  3. To select a payment date different from the due date, enter the desired payment date in the Withdrawal Date fields.
  4. In the NY Payment and MTA Payment fields, enter the amounts to be paid in addition to the original estimates filed.
  5. Enter bank information in Screen NYBank, if it has not already been entered in federal Screen Bank.
  6. Review all diagnostics and clear all ELF diagnostics for the estimates.
  7. If the return and estimates are not being filed at the same time, mark the Suppress franchise tax return and extension electronic files when only filing other returns electronically field in Screen NYELF. If the return and estimates are being filed at the same time, skip this step.
  8. Choose File > Print Returns. Mark both the Government copy and the Create electronic file checkboxes.
  9. Print the return to generate the electronic file either to a printer or to FileCabinet CS.
  10. Follow the normal procedures to send the returns electronically via CS Connect. In CS Connect, you will have a file for each estimate being paid by electronic funds withdrawal.
