TurboTax requires entry for a state identifying number up to 14 digits in box 15 of your W-2 input. If the state identifying number is invalid, you will have to request the correct number from the employer. 

 

If you are located in Utah, there additional things to consider:

  • Utah requires all W-2's reporting income from Utah to have a 14-digit state identifying number. 
  • The state identifying number is usually an 11 digit number followed by WTH or WMP.

If you have a W-2 with Utah income, and do not see a 14 digit ID in box 15, then please contact your employer for the correct identifying number.

....someone somewhere in here said that the final three letters  (WTH ?) will take Ok if you use lower case "wth"

 

Just make sure you put in the first numbers and the final letters without a hyphen.
