Yep, that's a software bug in the "Online" software. I thought for a moment that it might be something related to PA software, even though it is entered in the Federal section...but I get the error with NC software attached to my test file account too. Also tried with boxes 1b and 2a either blank or with 0.00...no effect, also tried it with box 1a = $285m and 1b as $150 (in case the software was was looking at the wrong box)
No problems with my desktop software though

IS this something you can throw at the moderators for correction. Online software only.
Also two others with the issue (and me), but they never followed up with details to revisit the situation. Not many appear to have encountered it yet...but perhaps many folks don't bother breaking out that particular Govt Interest amount. ..... I checked for an FAQ in case it was being dealt with already, but didn't see one:
