This is not correct: "No Payroll"

S Corp is required to have payroll. Any shareholder who also works for that Corporation in its business is an Employee. The IRS specifically looks for that error and the entity runs the risk that all takings by this person will be recharacterized as Payroll, and they will be late with payroll, incurring penalty and interest, because this scenario is called "trying to avoid payroll taxes" and is not legal.

You have a bigger problem, my friend.

Where is it asking for the State ID?  Is this a Corporation or Partnership that needs to file a state return?

The more details you can provide about the situation and what the program is saying, the more likely somebody can help you.

Is it filing a State return as well?  I don't know about your state, but my state requires a corporation to have a state EIN in order to file a state corporate return.

Sales tax is only one thing they might be subject to; you would also have Payroll for the State, so they are a registered employer in that State and would have been issued whatever is issued. Perhaps they just didn't recognize this is what is being asked for.
