UT Withholding ID number must be 14 characters long without hyphens, you must go back to federat W-2 or 1099 to update the employer/payer state withholding ID. Anyone?

Tried changing and it didn't work. Still shows up the same.

Try again

 

For Utah, the final three letters of the state ID number must be lower case!! wth

Alos, one time in the past I had to go thru twice to fix it.  Once to delete the Stae ID number entirely....then work my way out....then re-edit the whole form again putting it in with the lower case letters.   I have no idea whether that might be required now also...or whether one thru works.

this is not working. I have tried lower case letters at the end of the ID number,  I have manually re-entered the entire W-2 and that did not work. 

 

what do I need to do differently???????

this is not true - lower case does not work.

 

what is the real solution??

Lower case has always worked for others.

1) perhaps you have another tax form with the UT withholding number that needs to be modified.

or

2) Last resort...delete the offending form, and re-enter it manually. 

Do Not take a picture, Do Not import nor drag-drop a PDF file.  Re-enter it from scratch manually...look for the link to "Type it in myself" as you step thru the entry pages.

For Utah, change the WTH to lower case.  Just make sure you put in the numbers first and then the letters without a hyphen.   @thsimp02
