Question

How do I figure out which in "Check This Entry" I need to fix? There is something wrong with my state return but I don't know what. "Payer ID must be 14 characters . . ."

It says "Form TC-40W (1): Payer ID must be 14 characters long without hyphens, you must go back to federal W-2 or 1099 to update the employer/payer state withholding ID."

I cannot figure out for the life of me where the problem is. I've combed over all my W-2s and my 1099, and I can't tell where I need to change it. Does anyone have any advice?

If you have a state listed on line 15 of your W-2, there should also be a state ID number listed.
