Box 17 on your 1099-MISC should be the two letter state code for your state and the Payer's state ID. If they are there on the form, go back and add them in the original 1099-MISC interview.
If, however, there is nothing in boxes 16 and 18 (associated with box 17), then delete the entry in box 17. Sometimes people put entries in box 17 whether or not they are needed.
