Question

I need to fix my Employer's state ID number on my W-2. But I am unable to actually change the existing numbers. How do I fix this?

It depends. You should be able to change the number without any problem so you may want to delete the W-2 and then re-enter it.  After you delete it and before you re-enter it you should clear your cache.  It handles many issues that seem nonsensical on a regular basis. 

  • Close your TurboTax return first.

Watch to be sure you are selecting 'all time' as example.  Do not use selections like 'last hour' for those browsers that give  you options.

Once this is complete open your return and select to enter your income. 

  1. Select Federal in the left menu and then Wages & Income, OR 
  2. Search (upper right) type w2 > Jump to... link
  3. Begin your entry

You can use the federal EIN for the state number if necessary as well.
