Turbo Tax won't efile NYS return because Box 1 of 1099G is empty. The 1099G was for a taxable grant. Box 6 is filled in.

Make sure you are reporting your taxable grant in the right section in TurboTax.

Login to your account.
Select Federal from the left menu
Go to Wages and Income.
Scroll down to 1099 MISC and Other Common Income
Select Update/Start next to Other Common Income

If you reported the 1099-G in the "other 1099-G Income" section under "other common income," and it is still generating the message that it won't be e-filed, I would advise putting $1 in box 1. Should resolve your e-filing issues and it wont create a flag with NY or the IRS.
