Thanks, Diane, your answer is clear on the money part. On whether to keep the field 12z in W2 or to delete it: I tried to delete it and restore back and it had no effect on any numbers. Apparently TurboTax just ignores the value. Do you know if the values in my W2 are even passed to the IRS as a part of electronic submission? If not, I am thinking deleting the field is the right thing to do since
1. It will allow to remove the error in TurboTax
2. I will enter the additional $30 in Schedule 2, box 17d anyway.
Would you agree?
And BTW, to your knowledge, is it possible to file the return electronically while TT complaints about an error? If so, leaving the field in W2 is also an option.
Thanks a lot for your help and expertise!
