Hello, I'm trying to file my taxes and on my w2 it has 2 Locality names on Box 20. It says NY FLI for one of them. I try inputting it in. It says it's does not accept NY FLI. I contacted my employer. He claims w2 is correct and that turbotax is the issue. I never had an issue with turbotax before, so What can i do now?

I believe NY FLI refers to New York Family Leave Insurance, and it should be posted to Box 14 of your W-2. Box 20 of the W-2 is for posting a Locality, or a city code, and this does not apply.

This does sound like an oversight, and you should once again bring it to your employer's attention. The only tax consequence of NY FLI is the potential to increase the federal deduction for state income tax. If you don't itemize your deductions, it will not change anything on either your federal or state tax return.
