I got stuck in New York Additions (IT-201, A-101), asking for amount under New York City flexible benefits program (IRC 125). How do i enter the amount for my W-2?

It said i can't leave a-101 blank but when i tried to enter an amount it redirected me the New York Additions Line 22b. It wouldn't allow me to file until i fix the New York return, and New York only allow e-filing so far. Anyone has similar experience?

More clarification is needed to answer this question: What New York form is TurboTax directing you to? 

If your W-2 shows that an amount was deducted from your salary under a flexible benefits program established by New York City or certain other New York City public employers, then enter this amount under A-101. This is done on Form IT-225, which is used for New York additions and/or subtractions that do not have a separate line on your return.

I had client with NYPFL on W-2. Had to use "Other" classification on pull down menu, then check box "paid Family Leave" next screen, otherwise it was in a loop that would not allow client to continue.
