Other additions/subtractions stmt (225) - code A-101 must be entered HELPPP

[peterbooth]

I deleted the W2 completely and re-entered it manually, typing everything in by hand.

I then went to the Final Check portion of TT and was told that Additions Code A-101 could not be left blank and had to have a number entered.

I entered zero and now I'm right back where I started.

This is CLEARLY a bug in TT.  This is ridiculous.  AND I've already paid to file so TT has my money and I can't file my NY return.  

This will be my last year with TT if this can't be resolved.

I had this exact same issue and was getting extremely frustrated until I discovered the solution. You have to go back through your NY state return. There are a bunch of places where it asks what portion of income was attributable to NY. For me, these were all 0, so I was just entering 0 quickly and moving on. However, on one part the pre-filled number was blank and I still put 0 as the amount attributable to NY. This is what caused the circular issue. When I went back and left that part blank instead of entering 0, it solved the problem immediately. Hope this helps!

I went back and redid my NY from scratch and carefully did not enter any 0's anywhere.

Didn't work.

I would like to take a deeper look at this. However, I need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:

2. Locate the Tax Tools on the left-hand side of the screen.
3. A drop-down will appear. Select Tools
4. On the pop-up screen, click on “Share my file with agent.”
5. This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us.
6. Please provide the Token Number that was generated in the response.

TurboTax Desktop/Download Versions:

1. Open your return.
2. Click the Online tab in the black bar across the top of TurboTax and select “Send Tax File to Agent” *

I am using the online version.  There is no Tax Tools in the lefthand window.

Here's a screenshot of my browser window.

p.s. I changed browsers (from Chrome to Firefox) , deleted the NY return, cleared the cache in Firefox, and then re-entered my wife's NY W-2 by hand.  I am still getting the same roadbloack

I reviewed the diagnostic of your NY return, and I checked Go over New York again. I continued through the interview, including the Form W-2 Summary for the NY wages, and kept going until I reached the screen New York State portion of IRC125. There was $0 entered in New York Source Portion, and that reflected in the error  on Form IT-225. 
 

I deleted the $0, left it blank, and the error was gone.

If this doesn't work for you, you will have to contact support to get this issue resolved.

We ran into the same issue. A very patient TurboTax agent helped us resolve it. Here is our solution.

Step 1
On your TurboTax home page, click "Add a State" at the bottom. This allows you to edit your tax forms.

Step 2

Go to Wages and Incomes and edit box 14 for your NY W2 . Fill in NYPFL with category "Other (not classified)" as other people recommended. 

Step 3

Go back to home page -> Tax Tools -> Tools -> Delete a form -> scroll down to NY state documents, delete the document related 225 adjustment (can't recall the exact file name). Then you should be able to e-file NY return.

OH MY GAWDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the answer!!!!!  Thank you so so so so much!!

The form to delete is titled, "Other Additions/Subtractions Stmt (225)"

Finally, my taxes are filed!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

My solution was when it takes you to the page showing you the error, just delete the zero. Don’t put anything in that field. Nothing at all. Leave it blank. That fixed it for me. Weird error.
