The state of Nevada is not listed because it is one of the states without a personal income tax. Make sure you leave all state and county boxes empty. Otherwise, you will get errors when trying to submit your return.
The state of Nevada is not listed because it is one of the states without a personal income tax. Make sure you leave all state and county boxes empty. Otherwise, you will get errors when trying to submit your return.
In the state of Nevada do I leave the following boxes empty: 13, 14 and 15 even thou 14 has a value on the W-2G?
If your Form W-2G has nothing shown for the state ID number, no state winnings, and no state tax withheld (such as for Nevada), then don't choose anything from the drop-down list of state names and leave the other state fields blank. This should resolve the error. The instructions for Boxes 13-18 indicate "Leave blank if empty on your form". Don't enter zeros if the fields are blank.
If your W-2G is only for Nevada, then yes, you can leave boxes 13, 14, and 15 blank.
Box 13 on Form W-2G is for the State payer ID number. TurboTax also provides a drop-down menu to choose the name of the state, which is actually not shown in box 13, but only in the payer address field.
If you live in a state with income tax, you only need a payer ID number if there was state withholding entered for that state. If not, don't select your state from the drop-down menu and leave the other state boxes blank.
If you entered something in the state section of your W-2G and it's coming up as an error in Review, try deleting the W-2G (click the trash can icon next to the item) and entering it again.
See this TurboTax tips article for more information on Form W-2G.
