When I try to input AT&T as the name of the company for a W2, it comes back as AT&T

Sometimes certain characters cause a problem due to the language of computer code. You should try putting ATT as the name of the company for your W-2 and it should move forward.

 

There is a name and employer identification number (EIN) match that's taking place so my first try would be ATT. You can also check with the company if you continue to have this experience.

Must be a program change in 2022. I've used an ampersand in AT&T in TurboTax for years. Shame on the programmer (I am one.)

Thank you for sharing this information. Our team is working to resolve the display of an ampersand in Form W-2. Please see this TurboTax Help article which has an link to sign up for notifications. Notifications Ampersand in W-2

However,  DianeW777 is correct above and using ATT without the ampersand should allow you to proceed with the return.
