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.
