Thank you for your answer. I believe that it was a mistake that the box 2 for federal withholding on my W-2 was left blank. She said it was done electronically so it probably just got missed
Don't just enter your withholding in box 2 as if it was there. The IRS won't like that. Instead, there is a procedure to fill out a substitute W-2 form. I believe that you fill in turbotax as if the W-2 said what you think it is supposed to say, but then there is a list of special circumstances and you have to check the box for "my W-2 is incorrect."
Also, don't file your tax return until you get a corrected W-2 from your employer, or you get in writing that they refuse to issue a corrected W-2. When the IRS gets your tax return and sees withholding on your return that does not match the copy of your W-2 that they got, they will block your refund for verification.
