Turbo e-filing wouldn't go through when there's a small amount of state withholding tax reported? I changed the withholding to zero, then the e-filing went through?

The small amount of state withholding tax reported precluded the e-filing. The auto message said that I could only file by mail. I changed the withholding amount to zero to forgo the refund from the withholding tax and e-filing went through????

Check your Form 1099-R entry by going to your Income summary and click on edit next to the 1099-R to make sure you properly entered your state withholding.

Try deleting and reentering your Form 1099-R.

Also clear your cache and browser history and go back into the program, the add the 1099-R back in.

Here's where to enter your 1099-R in TurboTax:

Open or continue your return
In the Federal section, select Wages & Income
Scroll to locate Retirement Plans and Social Security, and select Show more
Select Start or Revisit next to IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R)

You can also find the 1099-R section using the Search option in TurboTax. Open your return, enter 1099-r in the search bar, and select the Jump to 1099-r link.
