I cannot efile because #12 asking for "State wages from your federal Forms W-2, box 16". I put 0 because I don't have any W2. I only received EDD 1099G which I tried to put in but it still didn't accept it. Please help

I recommend reviewing your input into the program to ensure you are only reported your income from your 1099-G. You will need to verify this information was not entered as wages.
Log back into TurboTax.
Your 1099-G information should be entered as follows:
I have also attached a link with more details on how to locate the information you need from your Form 1099-G.
1099-G input for paid family leave or unemployment
Once you make the corrections above, the error should be gone and you will be able to proceed with your tax return.
If I only have 1099-G for unemployment compensation, do I have to fill tax even though I already had tax withheld? Thank you for your response.
Yes to see if they took out the right amount or you get a refund. And now you can exclude 10,200 of unemployment so you may get a refund of the taxes withheld. And you need to enter the amounts you got for the first 2 rounds of the Stimulus to see if you qualify for more of that. And maybe for some other reasons. Are you a dependent?
You don't have to file your federal tax return if an amount of your unemployment compensation was less than $12,400, however if federal income tax was withheld it is most likely beneficial for you to file your tax return because you could receive your federal tax refund.
