State tax filing

If TurboTax requires a State ID on line 6 of your 1099-DIV and you don't have an actual State ID number, you can try entering all zeros (such as 0000000) as a placeholder to bypass the error.

To enter all zeros for the State ID in TurboTax Online:
1. Go to the section where you enter your 1099-DIV forms.
2. Select the specific 1099-DIV with the issue.
3. Find the field labeled State ID Number or similar near line 6.
4. Enter 0000000 or a similar string of zeros as the State ID.

Make sure all other fields, especially state withholding amounts if zero, are accurately entered.

This can help you proceed with e-filing when the state ID number is missing or not provided on your form.
