PA State Tax Keeps Rejecting W2_Import_Hold

[rricciardi]

My state is being rejected with the following: There is a potential mismatch in form W-2, Box 18 (local wages) value on your state and/or local return. Double check Box 18 (local wages) of each of your form W-2 in the Wages & Salaries topic under Income or Federal. Change Box 18 to ensure it matches what is on your W-2, and follow the steps to file your state and/or local returns.

When I go to "Fix" the error, the details say enter box 16, but in this case both boxes 16 and 18 are the same. As expected, my W2 values are not rounded, but the values TT is using are (correctly rounded). I verified the values and submitted and once again it was rejected with the same code. I deleted the entire PA return and walked through it again. Any insights? FWIW my federal return was already ACCEPTED.

Try deleting the W-2 that is causing the error and then instead of importing it, manually enter the information and numbers, then resubmit. There may be a "ghost number" hanging out in the form when you import it.
