New York Application for Waiver from Electronic Filing is a document that allows taxpayers to request a waiver from their requirement to e-file their tax return. Taxpayers must demonstrate an inability to obtain a qualified electronic filing system or to obtain or retain an electronic filing identification number, in order to be eligible for the waiver. There are two types of New York Application for Waiver from Electronic Filing: the Request for Waiver of Individual New York State Electronic Filing Requirement form, and the Request for Waiver of Business New York State Electronic Filing Requirement form. Both forms are available from the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance website.
