Hi, omg, so sorry. Yes, that was a typo. Box 15 has HI in it, with my full wages in Box 16, and tax withheld from my paychecks in Box 17.
Okay, so my employer would issue an amended W2 to change the HI line to have zero in Box 16, but leave the taxes paid in Box 17. Then add a RI line to show my full wages in Box 16, but zero in 17.
I meant that back in 2023 I asked my HR lady to change my withholding from HI to RI, and she said she couldn't. Since then, I discovered that I could do it online. So it's changed for part of 2024.
This has been so confusing, and I've found so much conflicting information online. Most of the articles deal with commuting to another state for work, which I didn't do. So thank you for providing this info and helping me understand this!
