If you are getting a message that you can't e-file because your W-2 state withholding is too large for your state wages:
In order to be able to e-file, you can opt to input the wages and other information in the W-2 section, but instead of reporting the state withholding under the W-2, report it in the Federal section, under Deductions & Credits, Estimates and Other Taxes Paid, Other Income taxes.
When you open Other Income Taxes, find the line to report "Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099". Enter the state amount from the W-2 in State withholding in the place provided in the follow-up screen.
