The error you have mentioned means the "Statutory Employee" box is marked on your W-2 entry into TurboTax. If your W-2 is only reporting deferred compensation, this box should not be checked. You need to review your Form W-2 you received from your employer to ensure it is not checked then review your TurboTax entry of the form as well. If your employer sent the Form W-2 with the box checked, you need to request a corrected form be sent to you.
To review your Form W-2 entry in TurboTax Online and uncheck the box, you can follow these steps:
- Within your federal tax return in TurboTax Online go to Income & expenses
- Click Edit on the Job(W-2) line you need to change
- Verify or enter the W-2 until you get to Box 13 and uncheck the Statutory Employee box
