Why does Box 15 keep asking for my State when the next Box says "TNNOTNEEDED"?

Why won't Box 15 let me add my state?

Since Tennessee doesn't have an income tax, Box 15 is not needed.  Boxes 15-17 should all be left blank.

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