You can get phone assistance if you upgrade to PLUS.

Go to Help at the top of your screen while you are in the program. Then Click on Contact us (at the bottom of your screen), then  describe your problem and choose a way to contact us and continue through the prompts.

If you don't want to do that, and you can't fix your W-2 issue, you can still file by printing out your return and mailing it.

You can't clear and start over if you've already registered your return. Did you originally import your W-2?

No, I don't think so. I'm going to make one last suggestion. Delete the W-2. Then go to the left side of your screen and choose Tools. Then choose Delete A Form. Then, on the list of forms, delete every W-2 you see. I'm going to put screen shots in the answer up above to show you what I mean. Then re-enter your W-2 and try to file.

Sorry for the delay. No, it doesn't. That's why I couldn't figure out what was going on. But the reality is that it's a good thing that you had them correct your social, because that would have given you trouble later on, and you wouldn't get credit for the FICA tax withheld.
