It's important to remember that this is merely a forum of peers. this is not turbotax support.
also, this is not tax advice, and you should consult a tax professional for actual assistance.
I nor anyone else on this thread is responsible for the accuracy or validity of your return if you follow any instructions here. 🙂
What worked for me as posted previously, was within turbotax clicking VIEW and then selecting FORMS (under step by step) - then navigating to my W2's and comparing very carefully what boxes were populated or checked or had an X in them compared to what TT had downloaded from my W2 providers. In my situation box 10 was populated on ONE of my W2's that was NOT actually populated on my W2. I cleared this incorrectly populated box and was able to continue.
others had a checkbox indicating the W2 was from Statutory work - which in their case was not checked on their W2 - - in that case, unchecking it in "forms" and going back to step by step to continue the validation end efile worked for them.
outside those two scenario's there is the Error you are getting - this (as someone else pointed out) is a KNOWN irs bug for those that DO NOT fall into the category of a poorly imported W2 or a turbotax programming bug. this is an IRS bug, if you have checked the W2 and it's properly imported or corrected- the suggestion (from the IRS) is to paper file. -- in other words, it's likely you will have this issue with any Efile as it's a bug on the IRS side. (outside the turbotax failure to find obvious errors on the W2) as this "bug" has been known since end of November....
| 11/30/2022 | Form W-2 | Business Rule | Business rule FW2-001-02 will reject for TY 2022 returns when the total of 'WagesAmt' for all Form W-2s is more than ‘WagesSalariesAndTipsAmt' in the return. | Business rule FW2-001-02 will be modified in PY2023. | BR will be updated in PY 2023. | | OPEN |
I hope this is helpful for anyone, I keep getting replies back and it seems some folks don't go back to page 1 on this thread where several folks provided potential workarounds. if those don't work, you're S.O.L and need to paper file. OR wait until the IRS marks it as resolved on their tracker. ( search for IRS known efile issues 2022) - Turbotax support isn't replying on these threads. and they seem to pretend they've never heard of this error when folks call... as is well documented on this thread. I see similar issues in competitors forums.
good luck everyone, I hope this is resolved before you're forced to mail it in!
