I don't have a value in box 10b on my 1099g?

I do have a value in box 11 so I can't continue without a state ID number.

You can delete what is in Box 10a or enter the same federal ID in Box 10b.

Contact the state agency that issued the 1099-G and ask them what their state ID is, or look on their web site. If neither of those ideas works, try using the federal tax ID, but with no hyphen.

It can't be that your 1099-G is the only one with the state ID missing. They probably sent them all out like that. There must be thousands of people in your state with the same problem. Maybe other people have already posted the missing ID, and you can find it on social media or with a web search.
