Recognizing that you @kjscottblue are using the Self-Employment online version and may not be an employee of a company, nevertheless other folks may read these answers.
So, in case someone else reads these answers, for those employees who have various company-sponsored benefits, the Form W-2 is very likely not going to have the same numbers reported for taxable wages or taxable salary as it appears now on your last paycheck. It is a risk that you take by using the last paycheck stub. IF the numbers differ, you will run the risk of the IRS sending you an inquiry and you then having to learn how to follow the arcane and difficult process of filing an Amended Return Form 1040X. It happens every year. Just a suggestion - if you are an employee with company-sponsored benefits that might change the W-2 form the paycheck stub.
