Not able to efile due to NYS withholding being too high

ProSeries Professional: I have a new client, has a high withholding on his wages for NYS in order to cover taxes on other income. Claims he has e-filed in the past. In ProSeries I am getting an e-file error that because his NYS withholding is over 25% he has to mail in his returns. This doesn't seem the season to be mailing in anything, let alone a Federal return, the NYS withholding doesn't even impact the Federal since he is not itemizing. So I am checking to see if others have had a similar situation. If anyone has had this in the past and found a work around or has an idea on how to get around this. Please share. Much appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan, I think someone else with a similar situation had a post about this recently on this forum.... Do a search and you should be able to find it period.... Good luck...

Are you referring to a NYS withholding question or another State, I searched and all I came up with was a question on IL and the response was to mail it in. If you have another discussion that you can prior me the subject line on this I would appreciate it.

what happens if you pull the excess NY withholding from the W2 and enter it as NY Estimated payments? would that fly, or will NY not recognize it properly?

It would most likely let efile go through but there might be a problem with the IT2s not matching up. The client might get a letter requesting W2 copies. It could still be worth it.
