I received a Form W-2G while in Las Vegas, (I live in CA). The form box 13 is blank but Turbo Tax keeps giving me an error message, stating I need to enter a State and identification no. How do I proceed?

Enter the Federal EIN (Employee Identification Number) instead. (Payer's TIN)

I am not sure I understand. Box 13 is "State/Payer's state identification no." This box is blank. I only have the Federal TIN number on the form. There are winnings reported in box 14 and 16.

Since there was no state id number provided on your W2-G, just enter the Federal ID number in that box to satisfy the TurboTax requirement that something be filled in before you can proceed. It will not affect the outcome of your tax return.
