Other filers have seen this message in the
Washington DC return.
It is corrected in the federal portion and
will then flow properly to the state return. Payor 1 will usually be the name
of the employer in the 1st W-2.
Click on the Federal Taxes tab
Click on Wages and Income
Select Edit/add for your W-2.
For Box C-Employer Name, make the name
shorter, from the end. (This will not affect the tax
calculations)
Select Continue
Go back to the top and select Review
and Check My Info. If the new name is short enough, you should get
the message, "You’re good to go! Ready to file."
Note: Shorten the name from the end, to under
10 characters, as the tax authority will be matching the first few characters
against the Employer ID number. Also, if you imported the entry
originally, try deleting it and select to Enter it Myself. If there was
something on the import triggering the error message, that will work around the
problem.
