Are you using a fixed effects estimator? If so, you have two options:
1. Estimate using ivreg2 but including the fixed effects as dummies.
If you do this, you should use the <varlist> option along with ivsq,
e.g.,
ivhettest z1 z2 z3, ivsq
otherwise the fixed effects will be included, the degrees of freedom
will be huge, and the power of the test will be nil.
2. Transform your data using the mean-deviations transformation (Ben
Jann's -center- is ideal for this), estimate using ivreg2, and then run
ivhettest.
The only catch here is that the degrees of freedom used for the test
statistics will be wrong, because they won't correct for degrees of
freedom eaten up by the fixed effects (see any standard textbook for
this general point). But correcting the test stat by hand shouldn't be
too hard. For example, the White/Koenker version of the test is an
N*R-sq test. If you have M fixed effects, then the right test stat will
be (N-M)*R-sq. So just take the N*R-sq stat, multiply by (N-M)/N and
there you go.
Hope this helps.
