New York: Make sure you enroll with the correct Online Services account type

What type of Online Services account do I need to enroll in AutoFile?

You can create multiple account types when you sign up for a New York Online Services account, but for the purposes of AutoFile, you'll need to make sure you provide details connected to an active Business Account (for sales tax) that is  and not an individual income tax account.

• If you've already created a Business Account, please double check that your New York Online Services account is an account that is associated with the New York Tax Department.
