This year we've made importing your info into TurboTax easier than ever before! You can successfully import your info directly from your employer.

Your payroll provider needs to be a TurboTax Import Partner (we determine this by your employer's EIN).

  • Your W-2 must be available for import – most are ready by February 1, and some are disabled after the April filing deadline
  • We'll need the Box 1 amount from your W-2 OR
  • You can also use the YTD (Year to Date) gross income from your year-end paystub
  • In some cases, we'll need the Box d Control Number from your W-2, but only if your payroll provider requires this for the import (not all of them do)

Let's import your W-2!

  1. Open (continue) your return in TurboTax if you don't already have it open.
  2. Inside TurboTax, search for W-2 (upper- or lower case, with or without the dash) and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.
  3. W-2 screen will open. On this screen you can add, edit or delete as necessary.
  4. Enter the 9-digit Employer ID Number from your W-2, click Continue, and follow the onscreen instructions to import your W-2.
