I keep getting a W2 import hold error and my state keeps getting rejected. How do I fix this?

If you are getting an import error, I suggest you post it manually.  

The state error may be because of the failed W-2 import.

Log into TurboTax.

1. Under Federal
2. Click Wages & Income a menu will appear.
3. Click the down arrow on Wages & Salaries
4. Select Wages & Salaries W-2
5. We'll start with your W-2 select 
   1. Work on my W-2
6. Enter the employer ID from your W-2 - get this number from your W-2
7. How would you like to add your W-2? 
   1. At the bottom of the screen select [Type it in Myself]
8. OK, let's review your form and fill in any missing info
   1. Enter your employers information.
9. Let's review the rest
   1. Enter your W-2.
10. Continue the interview.

I'm also getting the below error when attempting to submit my state taxes
Reject Code W2_Import_Hold

Federal has already been accepted
I've started over multiple times, confirmed entries are correct and reattempted submitting but no luck

E-filing errors involving W-2s for the state often have to do with the fact that you have a State ID and employer ID on the W-2, but no state wages or state tax withheld, or that the format of the State ID is not as expected for that State. 

If you have a reject notice, check it for any letters or numbers that could give you a clue as to which W-2 had the error if you have more than one. If you can't tell, review boxes 15 through 20 for any irregularites.

You might also try going back to the W-2 interview to see whether the answer to a particular question about the W-2 caused the error, or if the State employer ID number was entered correctly. States often have a protocol for how the employer ID number should appear.

In the alternative, if there are no state wages or stage withholding, try deleting the Box 15 entries altogether, or deleting the entire W-2 and reentering it without Box 15.
