Texas does not have state tax, yet my W2 is asking for an employers state ID in box 15. I can't proceed with filing.

Why can't i file my taxes without an employers state ID? Texas does not have state tax.

You need to remove all information in boxes 15 through 17.  

 

Go back to your W-2 in the federal section and scroll down to the state section.  Remove anything at all you have entered or that was imported.  There should not be any 0's it should all be blank.
