My 2020 w-2 has WA in box 15 and my wages in box 16, but Washington state does not have an income tax. does my w-2 need to be corrected?

You should leave boxes 15 and 16 blank or TurboTax may generate error messages. Your state doesn't have an income tax so no information is appropriate in these boxes.

Leave all boxes 15-19 BLANK if there is nothing in box 19 which there should not be for WA.
