Where? On your W2? Leave boxes 15,16, & 17 BLANK, empty, no spaces.

I'm not sure why it would be asking for this, but if you are receiving an error for box 15, try using the federal ID in that box or if the state requires a particular format, such as ending in XYZ, then enter 99999999XYZ for the number of digits it specifies.

If the error persists, try deleting the form and re-entering it. If you have "copied and pasted" to enter some of the information, it might have spaces or other invisible formatting characters that are causing the errors. Please be sure there are no extra spaces before the entries or after the entries. If you have imported into Turbo Tax, perhaps some of the data was damaged in the transfer and is not working properly, even if it looks correct on the page. Deleting the W-2 and manually entering it should solve the problem.
