Go back and review your W-2 entries for boxes 16 & 17 for accuracy ... the program is saying the amount in box 17 cannot be more than box 16  which makes sense since you cannot have more in state withholding than you have in state wages ...

The state wages can only be higher than the taxes withheld for that particular state if you work in multiple states
