I am getting CA red message 0560 on a W-2 for another state because there is no state ID number. How do I clear this?
CA EF message 0560 generates if any of the Forms W-2 are missing the state ID # Field, regardless of where the state wages were earned or the residency status of the return. Even though the red message refers to Forms W-2 on which the “State Name is equal to ‘CA’,” an ID number is required on all Forms W-2 in the return because they are all included in the California transmission. For Forms W-2 with no state ID number, enter a string of zeros to occupy the field.
This condition may also generate federal EF message 0208.
