TurboTax won’t let me file because of box 12 code

My husbands W-2 has an S on box 12a and then the amount right next to it. When we go to sign to file it keeps taking us back to review an issue and then I get this warning: “Box 12 code --We're updating how SEP and SIMPLE plan contributions are reported on the tax return based on new guidance from the

IRS. Please check back with us soon.” 

Did I mess up somewhere or do I just have to wait for TurboTax to fix this?

No, you did not mess up.  This is a known issue regarding box 12, code S. The developers are working to fix the issue.  Please check  back after February 1st.

If I removed the cents in the box on the 'Check this Entry' screen, you will remove the error message. Once you do this, you will be able to e-file successfully.
