Vanessa A and MonikaK1:
I had an opportunity today to delete my W-2 for the non qualified pension payments, and I reentered it without including any information in Boxes 15 - 17. The EasyStep process asks whether I took money out of my nonqualified pension plan. I tried to proceed without answering the question, but it ultimately required me to make a selection. I selected "Yes", and a dropdown box appeared requiring the State to be identified, and the amount. I selected "Pennsylvania" and entered the amount consistent with the amount in Box 1 of the W-2. Smart Check in the Federal section still provides the error message that the State ID does not match with any states entered in Box 15, and notes "PA" in the shaded box as the issue. [I did note that the W-2 income was properly being shown on Line 8 of the Federal return as Additional Income.]
I also noted that the same error surfaces when I perform the overall review that is inclusive of my PA return (the review that occur prior to the filing process).
Additional thoughts on how to address this issue, and actions I should take?
