Turbo tax is questioning my state payer number located on my merrill lynch account withdrawal. It is Michigan xxxxxxxxx. Is this not correct?

Please recheck your form to make sure you are entering the number correctly. If you are and continue to receive the error, you may want to reach out to the company that issued the form to verify the information. They would be your best point of contact to confirm their state number.

One additional thing you could do is verify the correct the data format from your state tax authority. Merrill Lynch documentation may have an incorrect data format for your sate. For example, the State/Payer's State No in my Merrill Lynch statement included a forward dash [/] where there should not have been one. My state (Utah) treasurer website gave the correct format which I entered into Turbo Tax and it worked.
