It will not let me e-file because I'm leaving the box blank, though it says PFL. I'd really rather not mail the return in...
The only options for Box 20 in New York State are NYC or Yonkers. Your W-2 is incorrect as PFL is not an option and is supposed to be in Box 14 of your W-2.
Are you a NYC or Yonkers resident? Is there amounts in Box 18 and 19? If so, you need to contact your employer and ask for a corrected W-2. If not, then you can leave Box 18-20 blank.

Thank you for your reply!
That's where I have the problem though; I'm not a resident of NYC or Yonkers. So when I attempt to e-file, TurboTax will not let me proceed with the box being left blank. It's forcing me to the screen where I either (a) correct the issue and fill the box in, or (b) opt to mail the return in.
So right now, it won't let me leave the box blank.
And for clarity, boxes 18 and 19 do have info, but 20 says PFL even though it should be blank.
If boxes 18 and 19 have information and no NYC or Yonkers tax was withheld, you need a corrected W-2 from your employer. As I stated above, PFL is supposed to be reported in Box 14.
