I am trying to enter a NY State 1099-G, income for Family Paid Leave. When I enter the payer's TIN and the amount paid, once the entry is processed, I am getting an error message that "the New York State Department of Labor has a different Tax ID". That is correct, I am not entering a benefit received from NYS Department of Labor - the benefit was received from New York State Insurance Fund, which has a different Tax ID. It is not recognizing the payer - but the payer is correct, and it is not what the software is telling me it is, and is asking me to correct the error - how do I move forward?

You can simply report it under Other Income so that you will be able to e-file. Here are the steps:

In TurboTax online,

Sign in to your account, select Pick up where you left off
To the right upper corner, in the search box, type in "other reportable income" and Enter
Select Jump to other reportable income
Next screen, Other Wages Received, select No to continue
Next screen, scroll down all the way to the bottom, under Other reportable income, select Start
Next screen, Any Other Taxable Income? select Yes to continue
Enter a description and the amount.
