I am using Turbo Tax Deluxe with NYS and I do NOT have any W-2 yet when I tried to e-file NYS, it said I had an error to correct for NY Other Addition/subtractions Code A-101. A zero was pre-filled (not by me) in the "Guided" error area for Code A-101 and it said to leave the field blank if there is no amount. So I blanked out the field and tried to e-file my NYS return and again it said I had an error in Code A-101 indicating that a blank is not acceptable, it has to be a number. There is a circular loop error in this Code A-101 entry. Turbo Tax should NOT have prompted for an entry in this field since I do not have any W-2 forms and it should not have pre-filled this field with a zero. The only way I was able to get around this circular loop error was to go into the NY Form IT-225, scroll down to to the section Other New York adjustments to federal income and BLANK out the pre-filled Zero on the line A-101 New York City flexible benefits program (IRC 125) New York State allocated amount of above.
This was NOT a warning message because it would not let me e-file my NYS taxes and I did NOT want to delete my NYS tax file as someone else in the Community suggested and start all over again.
