Happy Friday everyone!

Hope this is an easy one. I have a client with a W-2 and a State included in Box 15, income included in Box 16, but no state ID number in between. Do I need to get the client to get an updated W-2 or is there a workaround of some sort?

Thank you!

Have client contact state tax office and ask for the number. You can enter it without waiting for a corrected W2.

I've seen this, or sometimes I see "APPLIED FOR" or sometimes i see the incorrectly the FEIN in that box. I have entered APPLIED FOR in those cases and the returns have been accepted.

Depends on the state. Some states will allow you to get by with entering the federal ID number and some states will fly with entering all 9s for the number. But then again, if the client is going to be working for the same employer next year, why not contact the employer to get the correct number?

Client is fairly proactive generally, so I will offer this as a possibility along with the possibility of a corrected W-2. Thank you very much for the suggestion.

IT IS FEDERAL THAT IT WILL NOT E-FILE. MAKES NO SENSE. INFO IS IRRELEVANT AND NOWHERE APPEARS ON THE FEDERAL FORM!
