Utah State form isn't accepting the 14 digit employer State ID number. How can I fix it?

My example came from a return where the employer state ID only had 9 characters and wouldn't take 00012w45678wth. Where 12w45678(This is an example of the tax ID) was the origional on the W2.

Probably had to put in the leading zero's......and the "w" in the middle seems to be all wrong...unless Utah has changed their format.

...eliminating that middle w ends up with 14 characters.

The "w" was in the tax ID. It wouldn't take it until I entered all 0's and the last three letters.

Wow, this is still a bug in TurboTax. When will this be fixed? How do we let TurboTax know how to fix it? It seems obvious how to fix it. Just let your form let us enter the ID the way we see it on our forms. This is beyond ridiculous at this point. The workaround we have is not intuitive, it's either a guessing game or an extraneous nonsensical rule memorization game every year.
