I dont have a state employer id on my w-2

Turbo Tax is saying at the end that i need to enter my state employer id number from my w-2 but there is none. i was active duty military last year and a resident of Florida and Florida has no state income tax. I've never had a problem with this before.

 Some customers do not have an Employer State Identification Number listed in Box 15 on the W-2. This is causing an error when going through Federal Review. If employed and living in a state without income tax, remove the wages in Box 16. If your state does have income tax, contact your employer for a corrected W-2 with their ID number.

If this does not resolve your issue, please respond here so that we can troubleshoot a possible residency input error.
