NY State Tax Help

I had everything entered and I thought I could file my taxes, but I have all sorts of issues now.

 

My employer gave me two different w2s because of NY, so I have taxes in NY and AZ.  They put all of the numbers for AZ along with the Federal on one form and everything for NY on a separate form.  My problem is that when I try to file I get one of two issues.

 

1.) if I enter 2 w2s then Turbotax gives me an error saying that it can't efile since there is no income on one of the w2s and requires me to mail in to both federal and NY for taxes.

 

2.) if I try to combine the two states into a single w2, which I thought would fix my problem there is a problem since NY won't accept a value of Pretax in box 14 and that is causing me to be unable to file both Federal and NY taxes again.

 

What can I do to get around this or override the software? I don't want to subtract $100 from one w2 and add it to a separate w2 to make it whole as I fear that would be an automatic audit.
