How to Change Local Wages on IT201

[TaxNY]

Client has a different amount on Box 18. His local wages are different from Box 1 and Box 16. I attempted to override the numbers on the W2 form but the system wont register it. Is there a workaround so I can submit this tax return? This is a IT-201.

Are you required to file a return for this local wage? Probably not - so just leave it out. Input the local state so it flows to Sch A

The clients state and local wages are completely different. on the IT201 he is being taxed for his state wages and not his local wages. I cannot leave it would since there are significant withholdings for local.
