If your wages or withholding didn't transfer to your state return, go back to your W-2:
- Select the Federal Taxes tab near the top of the screen.
- Select the Wages & Income subtab.
- Find the Income Summary screen.
- Select Update to the right of Wages and Salaries.
- Select Edit next to the W-2 that contains the state income and withholding in question.
- Scroll down to Boxes 15-17 (state wages and taxes withheld) and check the following:
- Box 15 State should contain the correct 2-digit state code. For example, if an Arizona resident wrongly chooses AR instead of AZ, TurboTax won't pull the information over. Check your US USPS state abbreviation here.
- Box 16 Wages should contain the wages that were earned in the box 15 state. If this field is left blank, TurboTax sometimes transfers the box 1 (federal wages) amount, but not always.
- Box 17 State Income Tax should contain the taxes withheld amount (the withholding) for the state in box 15.
