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.

I hit continue and it comes to a page that says fix pa return. I hit that and it goes back to the check this entry page.

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.
