State tax filing

The information flows from the federal into the state forms so the correction has to take place in the federal form. Check the W-2 or 1099 to be sure the employer ID is 14 characters, with no hyphens. If the error refers to a W-2 or 1099 which was imported into Turbo Tax, perhaps some of the data was damaged in the transfer and is not working properly, even if it looks correct on the page.  Deleting the W-2 and manually entering it should solve the problem.  If this does not resolve the error, deleting the state form and recreating it from the federal form should solve the problem.

If you imported your W-2 or 1099 from a source outside Turbo Tax

Please click on the Federal Taxes tab

Click on Wages and Income (Or Income and Expenses in Self-Employed)

If you do not see a prompt for your W-2 or 1099,

Scroll down to Wages and Salaries for the W-2

 Or Self Employment or Other Common Income for 1099s

Click on Show More and Revisit

Next to your W-2 or 1099, click on the icon of the trash can to delete

Then, on the same page, Click on Add another

And enter the information manually.

Select Done and Continue to save the information and

Review your State Return again to see if the error clears. 

If you entered your W-2 or 1099 manually or if the above steps do not clear the error, then click on the link below for directions to delete and recreate your state return.  This should resolve the error
