In inputting a 1099-G for Massachusetts PFML, I have put the paid out amount in "Unemployment Total Received (1)" and put the state withholding in the "State" section. I also selected the box in the "State" section to "Report as taxable PFML" to ensure that the amount reports on MA Schedule X.
But I am getting a diagnostic that says "The Massachusetts Unemployment Withholding amount cannot exceed the Massachusetts Unemployment Compensation amount int he Form 1099-G input section. (ref. #43428)". The withholding is MUCH less than the earnings.
If I uncheck the "Report as taxable PFML" the diagnostic goes away, but I need to keep that box checked to get Schedule X to report correctly.
I think this is a bug in the system and will try to file and ignore the diagnostic (and maybe call Lacerte if I have time) but want to see if others are seeing this same issue.
