Since TurboTax does not create the data object that is being imported (a W-2 in this case), TurboTax can't guarantee that the import process won't fail. Sometimes, either the creator of the W-2 makes a mistake or enters some gibberish that TurboTax doesn't ignore.
The same is true of photos - a dust spot here or a fingerprint there on the camera lens, and TurboTax might have no hope of reading the W-2 correctly.
Taxpayers must always doublecheck the forms that are being imported one way or another.
