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.
