This year we've made importing your info into TurboTax
easier than ever before! You can successfully import your info directly from
your employer.
Your payroll
provider needs to be a TurboTax Import
Partner (we determine this by your employer's
EIN).
- Your W-2 must be available for import – most are ready
by February 1, and some are disabled after the April filing deadline
- We'll need the Box 1 amount from your
W-2 OR
- You can also use the YTD (Year to Date) gross income
from your year-end paystub
- In some cases, we'll need the Box d Control
Number from your W-2, but only if your payroll
provider requires this for the import (not all of them do)
Let's import your W-2!
- Open (continue) your return in TurboTax if you don't
already have it open.
- Inside TurboTax, search for W-2 (upper- or lower
case, with or without the dash) and then click the "Jump to"
link in the search results.
- A W-2 screen will open. On this screen
you can add, edit or delete as necessary.
- Enter the 9-digit Employer ID Number from your W-2,
click Continue, and follow the onscreen instructions to import
your W-2.
