I keep getting message I need to fix because nys withholding is greater than or equal to gross distribution or state. Don't understand.

State tax withheld is 251 and gross distribution is over 5000.

You may be having an issue with your local tax which is reported on lines 18 and 19 on your W-2 form. Sometimes the local tax withheld is reported as being more that the local wages.
