Hi Everyone,
I also had the FW2-001-02 error "the sum of all form W2s...cannot be greater, etc". After reading all these entries (which were helpful), I also found a discussion log in TT from a prior year titled: "Can someone explain these rejection codes to me and what I did wrong? Fw2-001-02 IND-423 F1040-034-05"
In that discussion it was clearer what TT software did that caused the error. I had a W2 for a non-qualified plan. I entered that W2 in TT for box 1 and box 11 ("non-qualified plans") because that is how it was reported on my W2. The actual wages and salary amount that I entered was correctly omitted from 1040 line 1a via TT and instead correctly included on schedule 1, line 8t. Then the sum of schedule 1 (line 10) gets auto-filled on form 1040 line 8 under 'other income'...I could not see what the issue was until I read the other posts from the other discussion log. What is happening behind the scenes is that the Forms within TT - for the W2 that I entered for the non-qualified plans income had the box 11 correctly filled in but ALSO had box 10 filled in (which is for something else entirely). You have to go into the actual forms area, look at the W2's in forms and make sure the correct boxes have the correct value (and clear out the duplicative value - the bug in the system), save it. close it, open back up and e-file. I hope this helps you. Again, all of your discussion was very helpful to me, thank you.
