How to Change Local Wages on IT201

TaxNY
Level 2

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


Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

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.
