If both of your W-2's have the same federal tax identification number, it is likely that your W-2 was corrected. You'll get a corrected W-2 from your employer if they made a mistake on your original W-2 and need to give you corrected information. If you're not sure if you have a corrected W-2, take a look at the bottom of your W-2. If it’s corrected, it should say Form W-2c, Corrected Wage and Tax Statement. If it doesn't say this at the bottom, you may have a second type of corrected W-2c that has a box at the top marked corrected. This box does not appear on standard (original) W-2s.
If the W-2 is corrected, you can follow these steps in TurboTax:
- Open your tax return.
- Search for W-2 with the magnifying glass tool on the top of the page.
- Select the Jump to W-2 link at the top of the search results.
- Select the trash can icon next to your original W-2 to remove it.
- Click on Add a W-2.
- Enter your corrected W-2 information.
- Continue to the screen Let's check for uncommon situations and select W-2 was corrected by my employer.
