We remind you when state tax forms are due. We remind you by email and on the To Do page.
For filing a state tax form, the method depends on
your state's requirements:- For some states, we electronically file the tax form for you along with your electronic tax payment.
- For some states, we prepare and fill out the form for you, but you need to print, sign, and send it to the address we provide.
- For some states, you'll need to use original, scannable forms provided by the state agency. We'll provide you with a worksheet that has the data you need to enter on each line of the form. You just need to copy the worksheet data to the original form, and then sign and send the form to the state agency.
