It is asking me to fix my UT withholding ID even though it is entered correctly. How do I complete my filing?

It tells me that it has to be 14 characters long with no hyphens but that is exactly what is entered. The only thing I could see that may be causing issues is that there is a space between the State and ID number

If there is a state abbreviation "UT" at the front of it on your W-2, do NOT include the UT and space as part of the number. 

 

The UT withholding ID number should be 14 characters long--11 numerical digits followed by the letters wth.   For the wth use lower case (I know it's a weird quirk).  Example 12345678901wth

 

If it's withholding from mineral payments, it may end in "wmp."

 

If you have multiple W-2's, 1099 forms, etc.,  that have UT withholding, you must use the same format and lower case on all of them.
