In the W2 that I got this is what is given:
Box 15 State Employer's State ID#
Line 1: FLI xxx-xxx-xxx/000
Line 2: NJ xxx-xxx-xxx/000 [above numbers are the same]
BOX 16 State Wages, tips, etc.
Line 1: [Left blank]
Line 2: $totalsalary
Box 17 State income tax
Line 1: $386.97
Line 2: $NJtaxes
Did my company make a mistake on W2 above?
I am unable to go through to the e-filing, because Turbotax flags an error.
One way I tried to fix it is:
- delete boxes 15-17 for FLI in Turbotax
- in box 14 add FLI and $386.97
- However, this reduces our return by $386.97
- I thought that FLI is tax already paid and box 14 is just for reference. Why is then $386.97 deducted again from my return? Wouldn't just a partial amount from $386.97 be deducted from my return?
