Thank you for your reply.
The W-2 information that was imported into TurboTax is IDENTICAL to the W-2 I received from my employer and the values are correct. I verified all of the boxes prior to proceeding with the rest of the TurboTax program.
Looking at the 1040 worksheet, I see that line 1 in the WS has the box 5 wages from the W-2 and NOT box 1 wages. This incorrect value also populated line 1a of the 1040. Somehow box 1 did NOT end up in line 1a.
The imported W-2 in the TurboTax file is correct, but somehow the program did not populate the correct information in the 1040 worksheet or 1040 form.
Have been using TT since 1993 and have never had the data fields from a W-2 incorrectly populate the worksheet or final 1040.
My bad for not verifying that line 1a was correct, but after 30 years I assumed that it was correct.
Now that the Federal was filed and accepted and is now in limbo, I cannot go back to my TurboTax file and change line 1a on my 1040 to see how much Federal tax I owe. Not sure if I would have been able to change line 1a on the worksheet prior to my finalizing my 1040.
Will see how long the IRS rejection department takes to let me know how much I owe.
