“[FIRST, just add zeros or Giberish]”-GeofferyG
In my e-filing process, I found that the companies tend to give you 11 digits, meanwhile the NEW state requirements require 14 characters.
while Aarron-bradbury only needed one character, I needed 3 more.
Turbotax finally (after going back to the federal W-2 editing section& AFTER TRYING TO ADD ZEROS AND FAILING) prompted me with the fact that my state(UTAH) was now adding ‘WTH’ AT THE END OF THE SEIN PROVIDED.
so,
If your box 15 employer ID (S)EIN is say, [phone number removed] , that’s only 11 characters.
Like GeoffreyG(https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/86178) said, you prob can’t get in trouble for adding zeros, so try that first, and TurboTax SHOULD prompt you if there is anything wrong with that as well as How to fix it!...hopefully.
Hope that helps someone because there was no prompt for me until I tried the “gibberish” solution. 🙂
