I figured out the issue as I was going back through the details of my state return. I have a former employer who I was NOT employed with in 2020 who is not only claiming I have a w-2 to file but ALSO HASN'T FINISHED HIS END OF THE PAPERWORK. That w-2 that shouldn't even apply to me and which I never received any information on is on hold and I won't be able to file until this sorts itself out. I opted to file an alternative W-2 and reported I hadn't and shouldn't receive anything from them. Hopefully this will be over soon! Thanks so much for your help, I wouldn't have been able to get to this point without it! 🙂
