What this New York authorization form does
This authorization form permits electronic filing and signature for New York State forms NYS-1 and NYS-45 for the selected tax year. It records the taxpayer or authorized representative’s approval to submit the specified employment-tax information electronically rather than relying on a handwritten authorization. Complete the identifying information, select or confirm the applicable forms and tax year, review every entry, and sign only after confirming that the filing data is accurate. New York’s Electronic Signatures and Records Act, NY State Tech Law §§301–309, supports electronic records and signatures when the required intent, attribution, and record-retention conditions are met.

Legal standing of electronic authorization
An electronic authorization can provide admissible evidence when the signer shows intent, consents to electronic records, can be attributed to the signed record, and the record remains reproducible. ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. §§7001 and 7006, and New York’s Electronic Signatures and Records Act, NY State Tech Law §§301–309, support that framework. Wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, court orders, and certain family-law documents remain excluded under ESIGN.

Troubleshooting this authorization workflow
Resolve field, consent, signer-access, plan, and New York electronic-record questions before submitting the authorization.
If a required identifying field is blank, signNow’s field detection and required-field settings can prevent completion before sending. Compare the populated authorization with the NYS-1 or NYS-45 filing data, correct missing information, and resend the completed document with its audit trail.
If the tax year does not match the related NYS-1 or NYS-45 submission, stop before signing. Edit the document in signNow, verify the reporting period against the underlying payroll-tax records, and obtain a new signature so the authorization and filing correspond.
For a consumer-facing electronic record, ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. §7001(c), requires disclosure of paper-record rights and electronic access. Configure signNow’s consent language before sending, and retain evidence that the signer could access the authorization.
signNow’s Business plan includes legally binding eSignatures and audit trails at $8 per user per month when billed annually. Use Business Premium at $15 when bulk send is required; plan limits and overage terms should be reviewed before volume filing.
If a signer cannot open the request, confirm the email address, resend the invitation, or provide a signNow signing link. The signer can review and sign from a supported browser or signNow mobile app without changing the authorization’s tax-year data.
New York uses ESRA rather than UETA, while ESIGN governs interstate commerce. signNow’s ESIGN and UETA compliance does not replace accurate NYS-1 or NYS-45 information, required consent, or any filing instruction applicable to the tax year.
