No state listed in Box 15 and TOTAL STATE listed as Employer's state ID number?

[TeresaM]

If you do not have a state abbreviation in box 15 , or any entries in box 16 or 17, you may leave the "total state" portion of box 15 empty, as well.  Generally, box 15 will have the state abbreviation and state ID for the employer, so the amounts in box 16 and 17 can be accounted for properly on the state return.
