military W2 asking for state ID

[ckhitchcock]

I am getting a critical error because I didn't enter an employer's state ID number on a military W2.  The W2 doesn't have a state ID, but ProSeries is automatically putting in the state and state wages amount, and then a critical because I don't have the ID.  How to correct this?  I have marked the box for military pay.  Thanks.

What is the members State of Residence that he claims?

What state do you have him filing?

I was military for 27 years, always a TX resident so my W-2 never had a state.  I always filed as a non-resident in the state I was stationed in if they had a state tax.

You can fix it by filling in Part XI on the information worksheet for non resident

Sometimes, you can put the Federal EIN in place of the State ID# and get it filed.

Thanks.  That fixed it.
