i.e. Do NOT make the NY distribution amount a zero.
The software uses that NY distribution amount, and the bullet points selected above it, top determine how much to remove from NY income. If you change it to a zero, then zero is subtracted.
The software probably transfers the correct amount into that box, but if it doesn't, you'd put in the value of box 2a, as long as it is not a zero....or if box 2a is empty or marked "undetermined", then it would be whatever amount of box 1 was included in the Federal income (many times, that's just the box 1value)
