Can't file because of an W2 error that's not an error

I can't file my taxes because Turbo Tax is saying I need to fix an error on my W2 entry. My W2 has local income tax to the same municipality broken down onto two different lines. I've entered it exactly how my W2 has it listed. My research shows that's what I should do in this case. However, Turbo Tax is convinced I did something wrong and is refusing to let me file.  Any thoughts on how to rectify?

Try using the amount in Box 5/Medicare wages and tips for Box 18/Local wages. Just report the amount on one box, not multiple entries for Box 18. For Box 20 Locality name, enter the primary local tax location name.
