Dave T Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I need to amend a New York State return. Don't need to do the Federal I prepared the IT 201-X and want to create the e-file it but I am getting an error that says "NYS return must be transmitted unlinked when transmitting IT-201X" How do I unlink the file? I don't believe I have seen this before. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I ran into something similar with an amended OH return. I decided it was easier to include a 1040X with no change and the explanation that it was being filed solely to amend the state return. Apparently OH requires a federal return to accompany an efiled return. Client received a letter last week from IRS acknowledging no change. Client is still waiting for the refund from the amended OH return. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 I just did this for MD. Check the box on the state EF info form to unlink from MeF. Then just create the state efile. Easy peasy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcb39 Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 That box has always been there and I almost always check it, for whatever reason 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
