Form W-2G - State ID Number
1
The IRS added a new Business Rule (or rejection code) this year that will reject a return with state winnings in Box 14 of the Form W-2G, if either the state abbreviation or state ID field is missing. The alert is looking for "valid" data, and the TaxACT program no longer accepts all 0's. You can enter any of the following in the State ID No. field to surpass this alert: (1) None, (2) Not Applicable, or (3) 000000001.
