Get your taxes done using TurboTax

E-filing errors involving W-2s for the state often have to do with the fact that you have a State ID and employer ID on the W-2, but no state wages or state tax withheld, or that the format of the State ID is not as expected for that State. 

 

If you have a reject notice, check it for any letters or numbers that could give you a clue as to which W-2 had the error if you have more than one. If you can't tell, review boxes 15 through 20 for any irregularites.

 

You might also try going back to the W-2 interview to see whether the answer to a particular question about the W-2 caused the error, or if the State employer ID number was entered correctly. States often have a protocol for how the employer ID number should appear.

 

In the alternative, if there are no state wages or stage withholding, try deleting the Box 15 entries altogether, or deleting the entire W-2 and reentering it without Box 15.
