Question

Does anyone know why Form IT-225 won't allow edits? I can't finish filing and it only takes me in circles to the "fix issue" page before.

The only field that needs to be edited is under A-101. I don't have anything to input there so it would be 0, correct?

 Do you have an amount on your W-2 box 14? 

 

Form IT-225 is used to report any New York additions and subtractions to federal adjusted gross income that do not have their own line on your return.

 

A-101: New York City flexible benefits program (IRC 125)

If any federal Form W-2 wage and tax statement shows that an amount was deducted or deferred from your salary under a flexible benefits program established by New York City or certain other New York City public employers on your or a decedent’s behalf, then you need to enter that amount.

I've never worked in New York City. Why would this specific text box require something other than a 0 or blank space?

Sometimes NY paid family leave appears in Box 14 W-2 , which is not Code A-101, but the program seems to categorize it as an IRC 125.

Also, if you are getting the error message shown in the image below, and it comes as "0", delete both of them. Before clicking "Continue", remove both "0's" as shown below
