I am doing taxes for a lady who lived all 2021 in NY then moved to SC. When I was doing her taxes I found out I needed a NYPTIN. I only have one for SC.
First Question: Do I need a PTIN number for each state?
Second Question: Is there a way to just file her Federal electronically and then do a paper return for her state?
Are you a CPA? If so, you don't need a NY number.
I'm not a CPA
Are you an EA, you don't need a NYPTIN

I'm a bookkeeper and a seasonal tax preparer.
I went through all the rigmarole getting an NYPTIN a few years ago..thats 45 minutes of my life I'll never get back!
Then a preparer in NY said I only needed it if I was preparing more than 10 NY returns.
I think @garman22 said he Efiled NY returns in the past without getting a NYPTIN and never had an issue.
