State tax filing

Usually the amount showing on the first W-2 for "Total State" will be the total amount for all the state wages. When this happens you will probably receive a few other copies of W-2 with Box 16 having different amounts (Adding the amounts from the different states should equal the amount from the first W-2).

If you are missing a page, or do not see a 3rd-4th W-2 with the difference amount (First W-2 Box 16 - Second W-2 Box 16) verify with your employer that they have provided all corresponding information. 

This is how you will enter the W-2 Information after verifying your documents:

 

  • Enter just one W-2 (The first one)
  • On the State Taxes (Boxes-15-17) section select + Add Another State (add information for the other W-2 sections 15-17)

*** If you cannot locate the missing information you can just enter the first W-2 and enter "Total State" for box 15 (if you this, you will not enter the 2nd W-2)
