Some software produces that print W-2s and 1099s automatically populate the state boxes with state codes, even when it doesn't make any sense.
For example, Tennessee doesn't have a state income tax, so there is no need to enter boxes 15-17 on your W-2.
If there is no entry in box 17, then just make no entry in box 15 (or 16 for that matter).
