Turbo Tax is asking for a code in box 12. My W2 box 12 is State Tax Withheld. Whatcv gives???

Are you sure you're looking at a W-2 form rather than another type of income form, like a 1099-R?  These are standardized forms, and box 12 of the W-2 is not state tax withheld (that's box 17).  However, on the 1099-R, box 12 is state tax withheld.

Often folks refer to all their income forms as "W-2s" even though they have different form numbers.  Take another look at yours, just to be sure.
