My wife and I both have a W2 for being our son Gracen's IHSS Caregivers. On both W2's in box15 it asks for Employers State ID number. On both of the W2 forms we have 0

The program will not accept a 0 in the Employers state ID number. But that's what is in that box for both W2's. How do i fix something that isn't incorrect?

Box 15 is asking for your employer's state tax identification number. If your employer has not provided a state tax id, you can enter the federal tax identification number here.

I'm having the same problem. But I can't see what you said to enter. What number we need to enter in cases like these???

I also have the same question. It doesn't look like the question was properly answered two years ago. The link provided only takes you back to the post.

If there is no state withholding in box 17 then leave boxes 15-17 blank.
