Hi to all. Box 18 from a W-2 of New Jersey is empty and Proseries won't let it be empty or zero is saying local wages cannot be less than local withholding, but box 18 is blank. last year I didn't have this problem.

Thanks for your help.

That should go to box 14, not box 18.

That's not local income tax.

It's state unemployment, disability or something like that NJ employees have to pay.

The more I know the more I don’t know.
