I entered my past employer's state ID# wrong. I used the EIN for both sections when filling in my W-2. Will I need to amend?

No, you will not have to Amend your Tax Return for entering your past Employer's State ID# wrong. Only the Federal ID# is matched up for E-File purposes and the State ID# doesn't affect your return in any way.
