Hi i am from Texas and on one of my w2 for the state income part 15-17. Box 15 just says Texas and says no employee ID #. But then box 16 has the same number from box 1 on my w2 of my wages. So I am confused should I leave 15-17 blank ? Because only thing it shows is box 16 with my wages earned and no ID # for box 15 just had TX. And it errored my response when I copied wages into box 16 and said I need a state ID *. But there isn’t one right since I am in Texas ?

Nine states — Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming — have no state income taxes.

As your state Texas has no state income tax, it is not in the drop down menu of Box 15 of form W-2. Just leave boxes 15,16 and 17 blank even if TX is listed in box 15 and box 16 is filled with an amount on your form W-2.
