I received a letter stating I failed to report correct
amount of retirement contributions (414h) or
payments to a flexible benefits program (IRC 125)
on your return.
Upon checking box 21: Public employee 414(h)
retirement contributions from your wage and tax
statements, I entered the correct amount that was
stated I was missing.
I already paid the state the money they claimed I
owed, can I still file a claim or take action?

    the issue is why the state says you did not claim it while you say you did.  did you carefully check over the state return that was filed to make sure it was reported.  if it  was then it's up to you whether to protest your self or use a service offered through Turbotax or even hire an outside pro

    Check to see if the NYS notice is referring to a different tax year. Sometimes they don't catch the error right after you filed your tax return.

     

    The same issue happened to many NY public employees.

    A lot of public workers, did they not file correctly or was it a mistake?

     

    The audit is for the 2019 tax year.
