W-2 Kind of Payer / Kind of Employer

When trying to save a W-2 form  and you encounter the error message "Kind of Payer and Kind of Employer are required". 

This occurs due to the fact that the Payer information is missing the Kind of Payer and Kind of Employer  at the bottom of the W-2 "Misc. Details" select from the drop down box the Kind of Payer and Kind of Employer you are.
