Drake Tax - CA - EF Message 0560

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 EF 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.

This condition may also generate federal EF Message 0208.
