Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you are still being prevented from clearing the error, try deleting the W-2 and entering it manually. Adjust the cents as needed to prevent the rounding issue, since it won't materially affect your return. The IRS typically drops cents in their information return matching programs.
See the excerpt below from this IRS webpage:
You can round off cents to whole dollars on your return and schedules. If you do round to whole dollars, you must round all amounts. To round, drop amounts under 50 cents and increase amounts from 50 to 99 cents to the next dollar. For example, $1.39 becomes $1 and $2.50 becomes $3.
If you have to add two or more amounts to figure the amount to enter on a line, include cents when adding the amounts and round off only the total.
If you are entering amounts that include cents, make sure to include the decimal point. There is no cents column on the form.
