I am getting an error that Code A-101 must be entered. This is from Box 14 on W-2 and my box is blank

On Form IT-225 other additions/subtractions stmt (225): Additions Code A-101 must be entered

If I enter 0 I get this error:

Code A-101 should not be entered directly on the other additions and subtractions statement for state electronic filing. You should enter the information on the Federal return, form W-2.

I have deleted and reentered the W-2 form on the federal form, tried a different browser nothing will clear this error.

If your W-2 Box 14 is empty and you did not participate in the New York City flexible benefits program, IRC 125, to clear this error, remove the 0's and leave empty. Then click continue. (Make sure you remove both 0's)

See image below for reference. This should clear the error

These instructions do not work. Any other suggestions? It is not letting me efile my NY return but when I printed it to mail, it says it is NY state law that it must be efiled Turbo Tax needs to fix this glitch! For retirees with no W2 to draw this info from, this field can not be completed accurately.

This issue has been reported to developers for review. Are you using desktop or online? If using Desktop you can use this workaround to file your return:

I have noticed a zero being input in the add/sub (225) worksheet. If you remove the zero, the needs review goes away. See the screenshot below:

To remove the 0, follow these steps:

Open TurboTax
Click forms in the upper right corner
Select Add/Sub (225)
remove all 0's, included the one for NY State allocated amount of above

Thank you but I tried removing both zeros and I still get an error. There is still 1 zero showing up but it is in an uneditable box

I would like to take a deeper look at this. However, I need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:

TurboTax Online:

Sign into your online account.
Locate the Tax Tools on the left-hand side of the screen.
A drop-down will appear. Select Tools
On the pop-up screen, click on “Share my file with agent.”
This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us.
Please provide the Token Number that was generated in the response.

TurboTax Desktop/Download Versions:

Open your return.
Click the Online tab in the black bar across the top of TurboTax and select “Send Tax File to Agent” *
This will generate a message that a diagnostic copy will be created. Click on OK and the tax file will be sanitized and transmitted to us.
Please provide the Token Number (including the dash) that was generated in the response.

*(If using a MAC, go to the menu at the top of the screen, select Help, then, “Send Tax File to Agent”)
