State tax filing

Some software products that create W-2 forms automatically put in the state, even when it is not called for.

 

Tennessee, for example, does not have an individual income tax, so there shouldn't be entries in box 15-17.

 

If there are no entries in boxes 16 and 17, you can safely delete any entry for box 15.
