State tax filing
Now you should see a table of W-2s. Are there only two W-2's there? Yes
Next, edit each W-2. Does one belong to you and one to your spouse? (look closely at the checked box)Yes
On your W-2, are there two box 15 entries, one for MA and one for RI?Yes
On your spouse's W-2, is there on one box 15 entry, the one for RI?Yes
If so, this is correct. If you still have a problem, tell me, did you auto-import your W-2? Yes
---------------------
so I manually typed in the information.
And still having the same issue.
---------------
I think you understand the issue but just to reiterate with example.
so my wage, let say is, 500
and my wife wage is, 900.
whenever I do my MA return
If I ask turbotax to import just using federal, it is
(500)x2+900; hence doubling only my portion
If I ask turbotax to import just MA, it is
500 + 0; hence ignoring my wife's portion (as there is no seperate ro 15-17 for MA)
-------------------
I learned that I can fix the issue if I just add the line to my wife's W-2 form stating $0 witheld on MA.
and choosing to import MA W-2 only.
it will give
500+900
------------------
I asked the wife's employer to change W-2 but they are refusing now...or does not know how.
