Get your taxes done using TurboTax
An Amended Return does not 'catch up' with your original return and correct it. Amended returns are processed separately and can take 12-16 weeks to process. You have up to three years to Amend your return.
Actually, if you have $0 in Box 1 and no Federal or State Tax was withheld, you don't need to enter your W-2 at all in TurboTax.
Per Expert @CatinaT1:
"Instead enter it as Other Reportable Income under the Miscellaneous Income section. Take the following steps:
- Sign in to TurboTax Online, click Continue your return, then pick up where I left off (if you are using TurboTax CD/ Download, then just open your return on your computer);
- Click on Federal Taxes at the top of the screen;
- At the bottom of Your Income box pick the option in blue to help me add other income, then jump to full list;
- Scroll down the page to the last section titled: Less common Income and click show more;
- Select start or update next to the last topic titled Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C;
- Scroll down to the last option titled Other reportable income and select start or edit;
- When it asks, "Any other reportable income?" say yes then you will make two entries:
- Your first entry description would be W-2 EIN # (enter EIN number from W-2) Box 1 Medicaid Waiver Payments, and enter the Box 1 amount as a positive number.
- Next you click "Add Another Miscellaneous Income Item," and enter this description: IRS Notice 2014-7 excludable income and enter the W-2 Box 1 amount as a Negative (-) number.
This both shows and explains removing the W-2 income, placing a zero on Line 21 of your Form 1040.
If your W-2 has federal or state taxes withheld, you can enter these amounts in the Deductions & Credits section under Other Income Taxes as Withholding not already entered on W-2."
