Get your taxes done using TurboTax
In order to get past this issue, you will have to reallocate a portion of the reported UI/HC/WD amount to "Other mandatory deductible state or local tax" (or "Other - not on list"). This workaround will not affect your tax calculations or your ability to e-file.
Why did this happen? It is lazy W2 prep on your employer's part, but an easy fix on your part. Your employer has likely lumped 2 of the 3 taxes below together on your W2. They are separate taxes with separate maximums, so you need to self-correct when you enter the W2.
Change the amount in Box 14, UI/WF/SWF to $148 (instead of the $214.68 shown on your W-2). That will leave a remaining balance of $67.
Allocate the remaining $67 to "Other mandatory deductible state or local tax".
