HELP! - "Information Worksheet: Spouse SSN should not be entered directly on the New York Information Worksheet for State Electronic Filing."

Trying to e-file federal and NY state returns but on the "Let's make sure everything is accurate" page there is a problem with NY return. Clicking "Fix New York Return" gives the following message "Check This Entry Information Worksheet: Spouse SSN should not be entered directly on the New York Information Worksheet for State Electronic Filing. . You should enter the information on the Federal Return, Federal Information Worksheet." My spouses ITIN is shown correctly in the worksheet. No matter if I click "continue" or remove the ITIN it returns to the previous "Let's make sure everything is accurate" page and cycles again with the only other option to "File by Mail". I really need to e-file if possible. Can anyone advise please? Thank you!

however, you can try this first.

1)delete her info worksheet

2) save return

3) reopen return and renter her info.

 

 

it is proper to enter a taxpayer's SSN/ITN in the federal worksheet. that should carry to the state return.
