First of all, I said MISSOURI (MO).  I am not in Massachusetts (MA).  I did find out, that if I had NO Missouri tax liability in the prior year, but incur a Missouri tax liability the following year, I will NOT incur penalties for not making quarterly payments.  This would NOT be the case if I would have had a tax liability to the state of Missouri the previous year.  For 2022 and 2023, I had no tax liability to the state of Missouri.  In 2024, I do have a tax liability to the state of Missouri, and I had NO TAX PENALTY in 2024.  For 2025, if I again have a tax liability to the State of Missouri, I better make some tax payments to Missouri during the year to avoid a penalty for 2025 income.  Maybe you just used the wrong state abbreviation. 

2024 is taken care of, although I think there will ALSO be problems with that. I selected "Mail Tax Return" with the representative on the phone, and it went through with the e-file process. I got a email saying that my return was accepted? Even though I manually printed it out?   Are you suggesting sitting on the phone again? I recorded the phone call, and the rep blatantly told me "There is no escalation."

Anything that is 11 characters is not an EIN. Ask your employer what their correct 9-digit federal EIN is. (The hyphen doesn't count. The format of a 9-digit EIN is nn-nnnnnnn.) What do you mean by "what they have on file"? You should be getting the EIN from box b on your W-2. If it's more than 9 digits, the employer did not fill out the W-2 correctly.
