Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Because this is not an error in anything that affects your tax return, but an issue with the way that particular screen is coded in the program, and I had found that the program allowed me to continue past the final review to the File section ignoring the "error", I recommended that you try proceeding to file.
We have experienced situations like these before, where some anomaly in a screen produces an "error" in Review but there is no incorrect tax information or critical data inconsistency that should affect filing, so the program can continue if you ignore the error.
In the meantime, I am reporting the issue for investigation.
In order for us to troubleshoot this issue, you can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information. If you would like to do this, here are the instructions for TurboTax Desktop for Mac users:
- From the black bar at the top of your screen, select Help
- Click Send Tax File to TurboTax Agent
- Click Send on the message that pops up
- TurboTax will create a "sanitized" copy of your return information with no personal info
- Post the 7-digit token number here in this thread
Additional comment: Upon additional review, I believe the issue is really that your employer didn't identify any state wages in Boxes 15-17. The follow-up screen in TurboTax that asks you to confirm whether the amount in Box 11 was a contribution to or a deduction from a nonqualified plan, and to identify the state, is there to ensure the amount is identified and treated correctly.
Distributions from a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that are attributable to elective deferrals are subject to Pennsylvania Personal Income Tax. However, distributions that are attributable to previously taxed elective deferrals are not subject to Pennsylvania Personal Income Tax or employer withholding at the time they are distributed from the plan under the rules outlined below. The cost recovery method is used to account for deferrals that were previously subject to tax. See here for more information.
