Yes I did check the box on the federal info page to file the return electroncially, as well as file the estimated payments electronically for NYS.  I even unchecked the box, & saved it (then the letter just says to mail in vouchers), then I checked it again hoping there was some glitch, & that would fix it.  It didn't.  It just has the letter stating to mail in vouchers, and right below that is a paragraph that estimates for NYS will be electronically filed.  I do appreciate your time in helping me troubleshoot.
