Can you Amend a federal return and later on amend NYS if needed?

[shf1957]

I know an original NYS return likes to be filed WITH a federal return.  My question is can you file an Amended Federal first ( since NYS hasn't processed/comleted the return process) and Amend NYS seperately?  Or do I have to wait weeks until NYS completes the process.    I believe NYS will find the error and correct it with out an amendment since the error is  based on the NYS Unemployment figure the client read off their phone...didn't have a printer ( read me 2021 when it was to be 2022)

Yes, NY is an independent filing state but you can also fire the piggyback state amendments separately
