This article will help resolve the following state e-file critical diagnostic:

• e-file: Due to a reciprocal agreement with [Resident State], wages, salaries, tips etc., have been excluded from the [State 2] return. (ref. #950)

This diagnostic is an informational diagnostic, made critical to inform you of why wages have been excluded from the state return. Typically, states that have a reciprocal agreement are not required to file the other state return, unless a refund is being claimed.
