Unable to e-file because of 1099 G

My employer that laid me off was in another state then where I lived, so I took unemployment from the state my employer was in. I get this error from Turbo tax when trying to file. 

"State in Payer's address should be the same as the state entered for witholding in box 10a. Review Payer's name and address entries turbo tax 1099 G"

How do I get past this in order to e-file?

Be sure that you have not entered your address in the section that is for the payer's address.  The payer is the state unemployment commission that is paying you the unemployment. 

 

Since it is a state agency, the address and the state entered for taxes withheld are expected to match.  If the payer's address is correct, double check that you selected the correct state in the drop-down box 10a.
