I expect TurboTax might get a lot of calls on this one (I called Fidelity first and they gave me a number but said it probably wasn't what was needed). In the past several years, I have never been asked for the employer ID number and it has been ignored even though I had TX in Box 15 and a dollar amount was in Box 16.
Just saying that you might want to revert to your old style and ignore Box 15 Employer's State ID Number even if the State (TX) and the Dollar amount in Box 16 is completed.
That is what you did in the past.
