My NYS return wants me to "Check This Entry: Other Additions/Subtractions Stmt (225): Sch B Part 2 Code-5 is not a valid subtraction code. How do I get past this?

Seems to be related to Form IT-225. What is that form and why do I need it? I do not live in NY, nor do I have business there. I am a US expat and haven't lived in the US for more than 30 years.

Thank you for your assistance. I have found the answer to my question. More of a programming problem as the return software kept asking me to input codes without explaining what they were, and that was probably because the NYS Form IT-225 itself was unclear. Turns out I had input 0 in five places thinking they wanted a dollar value. The software identified that as wrong but didn't tell me why it was wrong. Had to start the return over and erase the fields to blanks before it would clear those errors. Sorry if I caused anyone some unnecessary research.

Where do you change the zeros to blanks

Referring to NY Form IT-225. Part 2 deals with modifications to Partners, Shareholders, Beneficiaries. These modification codes are provided by the entity that sent you the income document (a K-1 for example).

1. In the New York interview, continue the NY return and get to the page titled "changes to federal income."

2. Scroll down to the bottom of the "other New York adjustments to federal income."

3. Update the "Partner, shareholder, beneficiary adjustments"

The next page is "additions" and the one after that will be "subtractions." You will probably find that there are numbers in one or more of the boxes there. Hopefully they will look familiar and you will know what document they come from.

You will need to find the source document and get the correct modification code to enter for each. If you need to see what the available codes look like, click on the applicable hyperlink "additions" or "subtractions" on the TurboTax pages.

In order to fix the problem so that I could file our NY tax return, I had to go back to the start and go into the section concerning adjustments to federal income. I put 0's in all the boxes which seems to be the mistake. When I went back and deleted all the 0's and left them blank, I was able to file my return. I spoke to 2 people at Turbo tax yesterday and neither one knew how to handle this and I was on the phone with them for a long time before we gave up.

Turbo tax needs to be aware of this issue and provide the necessary guidance to get through this. I shouldn't have to go into the community to do this.

Please follow the instruction below to clear your Form IT-225 error:

Go to your New Your return.
Continue through the screens until you get to a page titled, Changes to Federal Income.
Scroll down to the section Other New York adjustments to federal income and click Start next to Other Changes (adjustments) to your federal income.
Delete any entries on the next two screens (including any zeros).
