Because you did not have state income tax withholding for the wages paid to your child, you leave the state identification number field blank for the W-2 you actually file with the Social Security Administration. Then, for purposes of the W-2 entry into TurboTax only, enter any number in the state identification number field for that TurboTax will accept. For example, use the same Employer Identification Number used in box b, with additional zeros added to the end (if needed).
