State tax filing

Please clarify for us: is this error happening in the Review or is it happening when you try to e-file? That is, is NJ giving you a reject on the return, and the reject points to the state ID on the W-2 in box 15?

 

How do you know that you filed using the wrong state ID last year? Did you get a letter from the state?

 

You are right that you can't import the 2021 PDF into 2022 TurboTax, but I congratulate you on keeping a copy of the PDF (everyone should do that).

 

Are you working for the same employer in 2022 as in 2021? Have you tried looking up the Employer’s state ID number in box 15 on your W-2 in the PDF for your 2021 return and using that number in 2022?
