Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You simply enter the W-2s as received and TurboTax will allocate appropriately. Since you are mailing your returns I would attach them. Easy enough to do plus providing all necessary information for processing.
Question 1: Enter 0
However, please see instructions below for Line 1a
Line 1a Total Amount From Form(s) W-2, Box 1
Enter the total amount from Form(s) W-2, box 1. If a joint return, also include your spouse's income from Form(s) W-2, box 1.
If you earned wages while you were an inmate in a penal institution, you will now report these amounts on Schedule 1, line 8u. Do not report those wages on line 1a. See the instructions for Schedule 1, line 8u.
If you received a pension or annuity from a nonqualified deferred compensation plan or a nongovernmental section 457(b) plan and it was reported in box 1 of Form W-2, do not include this amount on Form 1040, line 1a. This amount is reported on Schedule 1, line 8t.
Question 2: Yes mail the the W-2s. It is not required however, I would just to ensure they have documentation for the information on return.
