It says I need to fix my pennsylvania return. It goes to a page that says check this entry. Hidden Fed to State: Employer name has too many characters, but nothing else.

Simple fix ... return to the federal tab and edit the W-2 and reduce the payer's name in some way. It is not important to list the full name since the IRS only looks at the EIN anyway. For instance I have listed Office of Personnel Management as OPM for 30+ years without issue.
