To my surprise, you have to at least repeat the box 1 amount from the W-2 in box 16 and "PA" in box 15. You should have 0 in Box 17 (since you had no PA withholding). I hope you can get by with no PA state ID number.
I am surprised because the code in TurboTax for most states ignores the box 16 amounts, but takes it from the federal return.
Before you enter things in the state boxes, please see this PA page for why the PA wages can be different than federal wages. Then enter the amounts in the state boxes on your W-2.
Note that the IRS does not inspect these boxes (15, 16, 17) because they are used only by the states, so you can't hurt your federal return this way.
