This must be done at the time of generation, or you will not be able to save it as a PDF without generating it. You can also download the e-filing for your records as well.
• The NY import is quite finicky and has strict data requirements. In addition, the NY site does not work on Chrome, use Firefox. Please see the helpfiles about How to File the CF01 Report and Common Import Errors
• If you want to see the efile(.csv) before you upload, it is imperative that after downloading, you open the file in Notepad or Notepad++, NOT Excel, Numbers, or similar. (right click – open with notepad or notepad++)
• We do not supply Occupation/Employer on the efile for standard filers, as it is not required by the state.
