Line 16 missing

Hi! Beside line 15, it has ‘TOTAL STATE’ and then nothing in box 16. Why is that missing a dollar amount?

What state are you in?   And......are you asking about a W-2?    If you are asking about a W-2, is there an amount in box 17?

 

Several  states do not have a state income tax.  So these states will not show up in certain drop down lists.   Leave boxes 15, 16, and 17 blank when you enter a W-2 for these states.

 

Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming
