Nonqualified Distribution (State ID) does not match with any states entered in Box 15 - error

DONUSA56 · ‎March 18, 2025

My actual W2 Box 15 is blank. The TurboTax W2 Box 15 is blank. When I run Smart Check, I get the error

"Form W-2 ....: Box 15 state must be entered".

If you have state income or state tax entered, a state is required. Be sure all boxes are filled in or all boxes are blank.

I am getting this error too. I can not e-file (which I am required to do) because TT is not recognizing my state - CA - in box 15. Why is this a problem? What can be done to fix this so I can get this filed?
