seven states, Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming, do not have a state income tax. In addition, New Hampshire and Tennessee only assess taxes on interest and dividend income, so companies in these two states may not have a state EIN number.

I would try entering NONE and seeing if you can proceed.

Or, just use the Federal ID number.
