"Check this entry. Hidden Federal Transfer Wks: Taxpayer's occupation has too many characters"? when trying to complete the state taxes.

Go back to where you reported your occupation and shorten it. What you input doesn’t affect your tax liability.

Like what Bsch4477 stated, all you need do is restate your occupation in abbreviated terms. While I cannot find the character limit exactly, there are limits for both Federal and State. Federal used to have a 35 character limit but I cannot determine if that is still in effect or if it was made smaller. It is a simple correction to make and go forward:

Go to the My Info tab > select Edit and rename your occupation with less characters. Example: update occupation from "administrative assistant" to just "admin" or some such shortening. Accountant can be shortened to Acct, Engineer to Eng, and so on.
