State tax filing

@JM1812  If there is no money with held in box 14 or box 17 then you should simply change the state in box 15 to the correct state as though the form had been corrected.  You say the issuer refuses to correct the problem - follow @ToddL99 's advice above and send a letter to the issuer requesting the change.  Save a copy of the letter and proof of delivery.  Then you're covered if it ever comes up down the road (which it most likely won't).

 

If there is money with held in box 14 or 17 then you will need to file a return in the incorrect state to get that money back.  It will be a non-resident return and it will have to be paper filed with an explanation attached.
