This method is not working properly for me in 2025, for the 2024 Form 1040. I entered the W-2 information for the distribution from a Non-qualified plan in box 1 of the W-2. I ignored the same amount from box 11 and left it blank, as advised on this site. I checked the box "Nonqualified pension plan not on my W-2" and showed the full amount from box 1 as a Distribution. The distribution is properly shown on Schedule 1.
When I tried to efile this return, it requests a state ID number, but won't permit me to type it in. I then edited the W-2 to input the state and state ID in box 15. It still comes up as an error. My only solution was to enter $1 in box 16 of the W-2 as State Wages. Then I could efile the return. Any other workaround suggestions?
