State tax filing

Form W2 wages are allocated based on the information in boxes 15, 16 and 17. This information is entered on the W2 screen in the federal return and some states do not allow any adjustment of that amount. 

 

If you feel like your state information on your W2 form is wrong, please contact your employer to get it corrected. 

 

If you need to edit your state information on your W2 form:

  1. Select Federal on the left side menu.
  2. Select Wages and Income toward upper left.
  3. Click Edit to the right of Job (W2).
  4. Keep going until you get to the screen, Now let's update the rest.
  5. Scroll to the bottom and edit boxes 15, 16 and 17.
