Using the Turbo Tax Program, Unemployment = Business or Farm Refund??

When clicking "Done with Income," I get the following message; "Your government payment from New York State shows "[NY unemployment (1099-G)] payment" on line 2, but this payment is not reported on a Business or Farm."

 

I have inputted this Unemployment Payment under Federal Taxes-> Wages and Income -> Unemployment. Why am I getting this message.

There is no reason for that message, except a computer error.  

If you are using Online TurboTax, use the Chrome browser and clear browser data for all time.

  • Sign on to TurboTax
  • Delete your New York state return
  • Then delete the unemployment entry
  • Add back your unemployment entry
  • Add back New York state.

If you are using Desktop TurboTax, update the software then follow the same steps to delete the state, delete the unemployment, add back the unemployment and add back the state.
