Box 15 on what form?

If a 1099-R then unless there is an amount in box 14, leave ALL boxes 14-16 blank.

Unless there is tax withheld in box 17 then all boxes 15017 must be blank.

so weird but the free e-file version is not letting me submit unless i enter the state employer id in box 15. they do give me the option to file by mail. funny thing is i spoke to a rep and she told me to leave it blank too lol

The only reason would be if there was a dollar amount in box 17 - (state tax withheld). If no state tax withheld then ALL boxes 15 to 17 must be blank - not 0 (zero) - no state ID in box 15.
