W2 does not print state ID number for exempt employees

[Bwarren1313]

Hi,

Our employees that claimed exempt are not showing the state and ID number for state taxes. We were informed by several tax prep agencies that this MUST be on the printed form even if nothing was withheld.

We tried to change them back to non exempt and reprint, but this did not seem to add the state and ID number. How can we get that info to display so our employees can file their taxes?

We also have a small problem that when entering the exempt status the gal entering the data used the yes to all button, and we have some employees who did not have anything witheld from their wages, no Social security or Medicare, etc.

Is there a way we can fix that?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Setting the employee as NOT exempt should fix the W2 problem. It worked when I tested it here with a test company.

That other item is not a "small problem" as you will need to calculate the taxes that were supposed to have been collected and paid. Didn't anyone notice that they were not having taxes withheld all year? You may need to talk to a tax professional to see how to handle that as we can't help with advice on what you need to do.
