Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Federal and State, the same?

Hi I am filing for S-corp status federally. I was told that some states may require you to file in your state also. Do I have to file for S-corp status to New York state or does the federal election cover me?

Thank You and I appreciate the fact that you lawyers are willing to give free advice to help people out(even though some won't help if you ask a 2nd question directly lol)

You have to file for S corporation status in New York; otherwise the corporation will be treated as a C corporation for the New York Franchise tax.
