Box 15 on W2 has two entries one doesn't indicate a state and has no withholding associated. How do I enter this data?

I worked for the state of CA but live in VA.  95% of my income shows up on the CA line with withholding.  About 5% shows up on a line by itself, no state indicated, no withholding.

As long as you lived in Virginia all year, you have to assume the 5% is considered Virginia income. 

So, that means enter the California information, then add another line for VA. Enter the smaller income amount and $0 withholding. If you have to enter a state tax ID number, use the EIN as the state tax ID number. 

When you do your state returns, prepare the California non-resident return first. You will get a credit on your Virginia tax return for the amount of tax kept by California.
