New York EF Message 2044 is generated preventing e-file when you have entered Form 1099-G with state withholding in box 11 where the Payer’s EIN or the State ID Number, box 10b, does not match the EIN for the New York State Department of Labor (NYS DOL) on file with the NYS DTF.
If the number entered on the 99G screen is accurate, the return will have to be paper-filed. For e-filing purposes, New York only allows a 1099-G for unemployment income issued by the NYS DOL.
