I keep getting an error that says I am unable to E-File in NY because in box 14 on my w-2 I have NYPFL and have selected other not on above list. This is option is deemed unacceptable for e-file in NY. Can someone help? Do I need to mail in my NY form or is this an error caused by the software?
Below is full error message
Public employee retirement contributions must be categorized as either subject to tax or tax exempt. The only valid tax category entries for public employee retirement contributions on W-2 box 14 are either 1) NY IRC 414(h) Subject to NY tax or 2) NY IRC 414(h) NY Tax Exempt. Other - not on above list is not acceptable for e-file in NY. In most cases public employee retirement contributions are subject to tax. Review all w-2 box 14 entries on your federal return in the wages and income section. If you do not see the tax category box next to the box 14 amount field then click Continue and on the next screen click Back.
