Box 20 on W-2s has New York locality name as NYC RES but error message that it is not among those accepted by the NY Dept. of Taxation and Finance and that must be NYC?

And, just to be sure, Box 15 also says New York (not NJ or some other state)?  Assuming this to be true, you may wish to contact someone in customer service.  You have some entry that is off; we have not received widespread reports of others having your experience.  But in this public forum we don't have access to your account, so you may need to do a share screen with a representative.  Please call in this experience to our phone customer support service by using the instructions in the following link: How do I contact TurboTax?

It didn't work for me. It was originally New York, NY in box 20. I tried NY, NYC, NYC Res. Turbotax Online keeps looping me back to Fix Federal.

Go back to the W-2 form to enter NYC for the locality.
