I live in Illinois and have W-2G forms earned in Nevada that are giving me a problem on the Windows desktop version of TT Deluxe.
Here is an example of a W-2G that is giving me trouble:
Box 13 State/Payer's State ID Number: <Blank> on W-2G
Box 14 State Winnings: $1,500 on W-2G
Box 15 State Income Tax Withheld: <Blank> on W-2G
Box 16 Local Winnings: $1,500 listed on W-2G
Box 17 Local Income Tax Withheld: <Blank> on W-2G
Box 18 Name of Locality: Listed on W-2G
When entering exactly what is shown on my W-2G form in this section on TT, I immediately see "Needs Review" on the W-2G summary section. When running Smart Check, it says "Payer's State ID number must be entered". Also, "State code must be entered".
I could copy the payer's federal ID to this section to resolve the first error, but what am I supposed to do with the State ID? Conversely, I could delete the state and local winnings amounts as well as the locality so that this entire section is blank, but I don't feel as though I should do that since this information has been included on the form.
