I forgot to add a new employer

I got a part time job in 2016. How do I add that income to my return?

Did they send you a W-2 or some other tax reporting document? If you were not paid by them in 2016, then you have nothing to report from them in 2016.

Yes I have a w-2 from them.

When I began my taxes, I notice that there was an option for adding new employment. I didn’t register what that was at first because I still have my full-time job as well. So I imported my info as it stood last year. I need to add my part time job. Should I clear my info and start over?

Again, if you have a W-2 just add it. If you have some other tax reporting document for that employment, you'll add it when asked for it by the program. Starting over will not magically "add a new employer". You still have to enter the information manually.

To add another W-2, follow the steps below:

  • On the Income and Expenses tab, you can click Add/Edit next to the W-2 section. 
  • You can then add another W-2, by clicking the option Add a W-2.

This will enable you to move on to add multiple W-2's and you can complete the importing steps below.
