Please shorten the name from the end, at
the right, to fewer characters, as the tax authority will be matching the
first characters against the ID number Sometimes the state
forms do not allow as many characters as the federal form that it copies, if it is OK in the federal but not in the state. In that case you will want to make the change in the federal return, so that it can transfer into the state with fewer characters.
