Hello,
First I would like to say that I live and Work in New Jersey. My husband lives in New Jersey and occasionally works in New York. I am getting this message when I try to e-file for New York. It is referring to my W-2. How do I fix this?
Reason for e-file ineligibility:
"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) 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."
Reminder this is on my W-2 and I don't work in New York at all.
