Does Anyone Know What to Enter When State ID is "Applied For"?

A client's W-2 says the state ID is "applied for".  (This is weird because they had a state id last year!)  Does anyone have any ideas on how to deal with this in Lacerte?

That may depend on your state (and whether or not there's any state withholding you want to get credit for).  I would have the client ask the employer.  Absent any useful response I would be inclined to use the federal EIN.  The state may not give credit for the withholding if it can't "find" it.
