PA state return box 1 different than box 16
I am having an issue in the application for filing a Pennsylvania state return. When I get to the Compensation Summary page I check the wage amount for PA and it shows what is in box 1 instead of what I entered in my W2 for box 16. The issue is that Box 1 is less than box 16 because of 401k contributions. The website is forcing me to make these match on the PA state return. How do I get it to reflect the actual amount in box 16? Every time I try to change it on the state return Verify this income page it tells me "Can't be more than your federally reported wages."
I have confirmed that the difference between box 1 and 16 is the amount in box 13 for 401k contributions.
Example:
box 1 is 50000 box 16 is 53000 and box 13 is 3000.
