Error says: "Form TC-40W: 1 Payer ID must be 14 characters long without hypens, you mu" but W-2 Form is correct. How do I fix this issue?

Error: Payer ID must be 14 characters long without hyphens, you must go back to federal W-2 or 1099 to update the employer/payer state withholding ID.
Everything seems correct from my end.

I had two W-2 forms and one of the ID was wrong.

Try this - Change the WTH to lower case, wth.  Just make sure you put in the numbers first and then the letters without a hyphen.
