What tax forms should I fill out in new york?

henryurlo: What tax forms should I fill out in new york?
Individual tax payer
If you were doing your tax return for the first time and by yourself how do you know what forms to fill out after receiving the W-2 form? There are the 1040-XXs and the 4868 but how do you know which to fill out.
Other types: Now what you had a small business. There are tons of others forms for that and this becomes a headache.
Thanks in advance.
