The following diagnostic is generating:

Form W-2 #{PrefixNum}: A non-SSN taxpayer ID is present in the client information screen for the taxpayer. Per E-file specifications, the IRS requires the manual key entry of the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) as it appears on Form W-2 received from the employer for all taxpayers with Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) who are reporting wages. Please key in the ID number as it appears on the W-2 or check the TaxpayerID verified box if you have confirmed that the ID being used for the return matches the ID that appears on the W-2 document.

Solution:

If the TIN on Screen 1 matches the one on the w-2: Screen 10>Employer Information (MANDATORY for e-file) > check State ID verified? (Code 282) Clicking on the diagnostic jumps to Screen 10 > Electronic Filing (W-2) > Employee Information (if different than Client Information) > (a) Social security number [O] (Code 858)
