Fill Form 8655 Circular 2024

The New York State Tax Department is making it easier to follow your taxes by offering enhanced fill-in forms available for download from our website. Filling forms are PDF files that let you enter your data using your computer instead of filling it in by hand. Enhanced filling forms have fields that populate automatically as you complete the form, eliminating the need to look up information like school codes, and some feature drop-down menus that make it easier to select entries.

The fields highlighted in yellow will automatically populate as you complete the form. Buttons indicate drop-down menus that can be clicked to list your choices for those fields.

Once you've completed the form, plan it by clicking the green print button in the upper-left-hand corner of the first page. An error message will warn you if you skip a required field. To clear your form, click the red reset button on the right. The links button can direct you to additional forms you might need to complete your return. When you print your forms, the data is captured in a 2D barcode. This barcode will be scanned by our automated systems...
