Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Some of the reasons you cannot import your W-2 are: 

  • Your payroll provider needs to be a TurboTax Import Partner
  • Your W-2 must be available for import. Most are ready by February 1 and some are disabled after the filing deadline
  • We need the Box 1 amount from your W-2 or the year-to-date YTD gross income from your year-end pay stub
  • In some cases, we'll need the Box d Control Number from your W-2, but only if your payroll provider requires it

If you are unable to import your W-2, you can type it in instead. Please follow these steps in TurboTax to add your W-2:

  1. Open your tax return. 
  2. Search for W-2 with the magnifying glass tool on the top of the page. 
  3. Select the Jump to W-2 link at the top of the search results.Click on Add a W-2.
  4. Follow the on screen instructions.
