Wait a minute----back up to the part about entering wife's W-2 for "this year" and then entering wife's W-2 for "last year"-----do you mean you included a 2023 W-2 on a 2024 tax return?
You cannot combine income from two different years on the same tax return. If you put a 2023 W-2 on your 2024 return, delete it. That can only be entered on a 2023 tax return. Did you file a 2023 return and forget to enter it then? If so, you have to amend the 2023 return and put in in for 2023.
