How can I remove the watermark that says "no handwritten entries, other than signature, on this form" off of my New York form?
Per New York Publication 75 Page 11:
Forms with 2D barcodes must have a watermark on the right-hand side of each printed page. The watermark must be in ALL CAPS. Main forms and attachment forms have different watermarks, see the following:
- Watermark for main forms (including standalone form): “NO HANDWRITTEN ENTRIES, OTHER THAN SIGNATURE, ON THIS FORM.”
- Watermark for attachment forms: “NO HANDWRITTEN ENTRIES ON THIS FORM.”
There is not a way to remove this watermark from any of the above listed forms, nor will it affect filing. Per the instructions, it is required to be there.
