Does anyone know what to do if your former employer did not include a state employers ID number on the W2 and I have reached out dozens of times to no avail.

In box 15 it has the state but NO ID # and boxes 16 & 17 have the dollar amounts in them.

Yes I am from the state of VA and we do pay taxes. The company I received the W2 from brought out my old company and gave us severance packages and this is the W2 I received.

What state? If boxes 15, 16, and 17 are blank you do not need a state ID. Are you in one of the states with no state income tax?

Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming
