I have a client with NY tax withholding that exceeds 25% of the taxable income - I know I cannot e-file the NY return, but can I still e-file the federal return? or will I get an error message? I have to mail the return to the client, so if I need to prepare paper return for both fed and state, I would rather know now than later. Thanks for any help!

IRS shouldnt care about NY withholding limits....are you getting the message for the federal when you go through the REVIEW button?

Yes, unfortunately, it is a federal error - you can't have more than 50% of state withholding compared to income. My client is actually close to 100%. I guess I'll just have her paper mail everything - oh well...

I entered two separate NY wages and withholding lines on the w2 worksheet with the wages the same on each but splitting the withholding....hopefully it efiles correctly!
