After you file

If you haven't filed your tax return yet, you can still make changes, but I strongly caution you to do so.  All of the questions that @rjs asked you are very important.

  • Print out a hard copy of your W-2
  • Bring up your W-2 in TurboTax
  1. Federal 
  2. Wages & Income 
  3. Select Wages and Salaries, or Revisit
  4. Select add a W-2 for the appropriate person if married.
  5. Post the tax ID number for the employer
  6. If you want to import the W-2, enter the value from box 1 of the W-2
  7. Follow instructions for the import
  8. If not, select [Change how I enter my form]
  9. [Type it Myself]
  10. Enter the W-2 information.
  • Compare the hard copy to what is posted.
  • If they are the same, do not change it.
    • Contact your employer if you feel it is incorrect.
