The bottom line is that you want all the information from your W-2 and corrected W-2c posted on the tax return you file.
1) Do I simply upload my W-2 form and then input the corrected amounts (Box 1, 2, and 12a) from my W-2c? If so, do I keep the Box 12 Code "AA" and simply add an additional Box 12 with Code "Q" on this?
- This is an alternative. If you already have the W-2 posted, simply make the corrections.
- Keep the Code AA: Designated Roth contributions under a section 401(k) plan.
- Yes, add Q: Nontaxable combat pay. "Thank You"
2) Do I need to upload my W-2 (including all of its original information) AND upload my W-2c separately with the corrected information (leaving uncorrected fields blank)? I do not see another option for uploading the W-2c merely for situational awareness.
- No, I don't recommend trying to upload both of the W-2's.
3) Given that my W-2c only populated individually corrected fields, is there any real difference between uploading and inputting the corrected information on my W-2 vs. uploading my W-2c and inputting the correct W-2 information?
- You're correct; therefore, I do recommend alternative 1.
Thank You for your service!
