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 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.
