Why is the Utah State Withholding number not recognized on your entry for TC40W when it is correct on the W-2?

The number is correct but the application does not recognize the 14 digit number.

Be sure you have the wth at the end, no capitalization. 

From Income Tax Withholding - Utah Income Taxes - Utah.gov:

For payer ID:  The Utah withholding account number is a 14-character number. The first eleven characters are numeric and the last three are “wth.” Do not enter hyphens. Example: 12345678901wth. 

 

Contact the employer or payer of the income to get the Utah ID number. If there is no state withholding, you can delete the entire state line.
