The Civic and Community Engagement Office and the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance have suspended their in-person tax services on the Buffalo State campus because of coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns.

However, students can file their taxes for free using software and tutorial videos on the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance website. 

The videos provide step-by-step guidance on

• getting started and using the software,
• selecting the right software and creating an account,
• navigating the different sections of the return, and
• getting all the deductions and credits they qualify for.

The NYS Department of Taxation and Finance website also offers other resources and information that includes access to other free tax-filing software options. Please e-mail questions to taxpartners@tax.ny.gov.

In addition, New York State recently announced an extension of the state deadline for personal income tax filings to July 15 to match the extended federal due date.
