Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The w2 box 10 is not behaving as expected so let's workaround it.

  • Online version -you are correct, enter as other income and describe it as Box 10 excess or similar.
  • Desktop version - temporarily override the amount. Proceed through step by step in that section. Return  to forms and cancel override. Hopefully, it will hold. If not, other income should be entered.

This gives you the correct taxable income, a description of the income and low audit risk. Keep your notes and this thread, in case the IRS asks.
