This can be fixed in the W-2 wages section of the program.

 

  1. Select Federal on the left panel
  2. Select "Wages & Income"
  3. Select Edit next to "Job (W-2)"
  4. Select Edit next to the applicable W-2 form where you had the excess SDI claimed.
  5. Scroll down to Box 14.  This is where you will enter the amount of the taxes withheld, as well as the "Category".  Make sure you select the category to ensure the correct tax is being reported and claimed.

New Jersey state tax input

There are drop down options for each New Jersey tax you may have on your W-2:

  • NJ SDI- State Disability Insurance
  • NJ UI (Unemployment insurance)
  • WF (Workforce development partnership fund
  • SWF(Supplemental workforce fund) tax
  • NJ FLI (Family leave insurance tax). 

 

You will need to "Add another row" to ensure you report all of the respective taxes paid.

 

The maximum employee contributions for 2019 were:

  • UI/WF/SWF $146.20
  • DI $58.48
  • FLI $27.52

Once you break out the New Jersey taxes in Box 14, you should get credit for the excess payments on Form NJ-2450.

Hi, I am getting the same annoying message with NJ FLI cannot be greater than 29.  I have 30.33 as the amount. Do  I go forward and file anyway?

Re: Annoying error check message of NJ FLI cannot be greater than 29 - How do i get rid of it

Yes, go forward with filing. No, depending on your circumstances, Form 2450 may not be necessary. You may need to go to your employer for reimbursement, instead, if you only had one employer.
