Box 15 is showing an error saying it needs info but Tennessee is not listed as an option in the drop down list for this box. How do I proceed?

Tennessee does not have a personal income tax so leave boxes 15, 16 and 17 blank (empty) on the TurboTax W-2.

I assume that you are referring to form W-2.

Nine states — Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming — have no state income taxes.

As your state Washington has no state income tax, it is not in the drop down menu of Box 15 of form W-2. Just leave boxes 15 and 16 blank even if TN is listed in box 15 and/or box 16 is filled with an amount on your form W-2.
