A blank box 15 state employer ID on your W-2 should not cause a problem with your return processing at the IRS or the state revenue office. Here are some steps to work around this message and allow you to e-file.

If no state is listed in box 15 and no income tax in box 17 then delete the entries in box 16 in TurboTax.

Box 15 state id number is blank on my w2

Box 15 has a state ID without a number, but the state of texas is not listed as an option for box 15. There is an amount if box 16, but I can not move forward until I enter in the state ID, but the state of texas is not an option. Can I delete the amount in box 16 and move forward in turbo tax?

Since Texas does not have a state income tax, you may delete the box 16 information from TurboTax and move forward.
