You will need to update the state ID number for the form W2 in question. While this number doesn't affect your tax calculations for UT, it does affect e-filing steps.

In the "Wages and Income" section go back to the "Job W2" topic and
"Edit" the W2.
Go down to the state/local area in the form W2 entries.
Delete/backspace to completely eliminate any stray marks in box 15.

The Utah withholding account number is a 14-character number. The first eleven characters are numeric and the last three are “WTH.” Do not enter hyphens. Example: 12345678901WTH. The letters should be lowercase.

@juliwilkins71

I thought the last 3 letters had to be Upper Case... Try that and post back if it works.

Delete the entire ID number, and click in another box before editing in the new one...sometime a case change doesn't take unless you blank out the entry entirely first.

But it does need to be done on each and every form that had a state line in it showing UT withholding.

Usually W-2 and 1099-R forms, but occasionally a few others.
