"Edit" or "Delete" W-2 in TurboTax amendment to submit W-2c corrections after filing? And do I also enter the original W2 figures that are blank on the W-2c?

My employer left off some of my income and sent me a W2C after I filed. It looks like my only options for amending is to add a W2, delete a W2 or edit a W2. There is no option for adding a W-2c. If I try to delete or edit, it pulls in my corrected info by looking up the EIN. Since my income changed but my tax withheld did not, the system is pulling in zero for tax withheld and it now looks like I owe a huge amount even though my original W2 showed a withholdings. Any experience filing a W2C properly in turbotax?

W-2C forms usually only show the boxes that changed.

So you leave in the original form...and just EDIT the original..and add-in, or change the new information and leave the other boxes alone.

If you've already deleted the original W-2, just re-enter it....changing or adding just the new numbers after that, 

................and on the page following the W-2 in the software interview.....there is a selection for  "Corrected W-2" about 4/5ths of the way down all the check boxes.

I followed this method but now it is showing $0 for the "original" section in 1040x.

We'd love to help you complete your tax return but need more information. Can you please clarify your question?

You've posted a W-2 from 2021.  What do you want to do?  @CharlotteYoung

changing your original return before you click AMEND causes problems.

 

TurbOTax has not even opened 1040-X for use yet.
