Tax season is underway, and the state Department of Taxation and Finance says a lot of New Yorkers will be able to file their returns for free.
Anyone whose 2021 income was $ 73-thousand or less can submit their state and federal returns by using software available on the Tax Department website. Last year, nearly 255-thousand taxpayers used the program which saved them a combined $ 51-million in tax preparation fees. The IRS says the deadline to file taxes this year is April 18th.
