W2 Box 15 invalid employer's state ID number

I already paid to e-file my KY state tax. However, at the last step, turbotax told me that I I have an invalid employer's ID for KY. What should I do? Please help.

 

My employer is in NY but I am living in KY. I have two states in Box 15 on my W2. However, I only have my employers' state ID for NY, my employer's state ID for KY is blank.

 

Last year, I used the same ID for both states and it worked. This year, TurboTax is asking me for a 6-digit state ID for KY. My employer's state ID for NY is 9 digits. How can I fix this problem so I can e-file for KY state? I already paid 25 dollars for KY e-file.

W2 Box 15 invalid employer's state ID number

The program is looking for 6 digits, so it is worth picking 6 digits and see if it will e-file. The actual state department will have your information with the w2 so I am not concerned about them.
