So on my w2 where it says employers state id number it doesnt have a number it just says applied for how can I file my taxes without this number ?

Yes, you can continue to file your taxes without your employer's state ID number. You can either enter your employer's federal identification number in the field or a fictitious number to continue with your return. Your state will be able to refer to your employer's information by cross-referencing the federal tax identification number. Additional information is provided below.
