State tax filing

The percentage they are asking about would only involve your state wages.

Divide the State Income Tax withheld (Box 17 of your W-2)

by State Wages (Box 16 of your W-2)

So as an example:  If you had $403 in withholding and 12,000 in wages, you would have 403/12000 = .03358 or 3.358%
