NYS tax return

[ezeatu]

In trying to efile my NYS return I have been asked to verify information - what do my 1099R's list as state tax withheld  in box 14.  My 2025 numbers are identical to my 2024 numbers which were filed and refund issued.  Turbo Tax indicates that my state withholding amounts (on 4 1099R's) total $2008.44 - and refund is projected as $2008.  I'm told that my withholding amounts cannot be greater than or equal to the state distribution amount.  The information I have entered is correct - and cannot proceed further.  What to do?

To clear your error, you should type this withholding amount in as a rounded whole number.

1. Return to the 1099-R entry and type 2008 into the box 14 entry instead of 2008.44

The IRS and state agencies will not accept returns with decimal values anyway, and so typing data in without the cents on the end (rounded up or down to the nearest whole dollar correctly) will not pose any legal reporting issues.
