Box 6 on 1099-NEC state identifier number

[miccora]

For box 6 for the 1099-nec it is requiring me to add a state number but my 1099-form is blank on box 6. I live in Texas which does not have a state tax. So my question is, what can I do to fix this issue and get past this screen as I cannot proceed without adding something in box 6.

If you live in a state that does not have an income tax, leave Boxes 6 and 7 empty.

I am in Massachusetts, what is the code  for box 6 for Massachusetts?

The code is not general for all of Massachusetts; it would be a unique registration number with the tax authorities in the state of MA. So, assuming your box 6 is empty: 

If there was no state tax withheld (Box 5 - also blank) of your 1099-NEC, then please leave Boxes 6 and 7 empty.

If there was state tax withheld (Box 5 - has values) of your 1099-NEC, and there is no state ID number in Box 6, then you can use the Payer's TIN located under the Payer's name (in the upper left corner) for your box 6 entry, as a workaround.
