TurboTax does not have your W-2.   W-2’s come from employers.  There is not a federal or national website that provides W-2’s.   If your employer is partnered with TurboTax to allow the W-2 data to be imported into the software you can do that---but you need the actual W-2 so that you can enter the EIN and the amount from box 1 to import the other data from the W-2---which just saves you the little bit of keying in of the other information.   Every 2025 W-2 that you received must be reported on your 2025 tax return, even if they are for small amounts.  Remember that each one of those W-2’s has your Social Security number on it, and that income was reported to the IRS by the employer.  You do not want trouble with the IRS for under-reporting your income or have your refund delayed by having missing income.   ALL of your W-2’s must be entered on the SAME tax return.     Go to Federal>Wages & Income to enter a W-2. After you enter the first one, you click Add Another W-2.     W-2's come from your employer, and they have until January 31 to issue it.  Some employers allow you to import the W-2 through the software, but for security reasons you still need information from the actual W-2 to import it. Some employers have payroll sites that will have your W-2. You might need to phone, text, drop in, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-forms/get-copy-w-2/L8FTim9MO_US_en_US?uid=m68ee4os   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/import-enter-w-2/L55HzdeDr_US_en_US?uid=m68efe36     And….SAVE YOUR OWN W-2! TURBOTAX DOES NOT SAVE IT FOR YOU.  TurboTax will not have a copy of it in your account and will not have an image even if you snapped a photo or imported it.  It is up to you to save it for your own records as stated on the back of the W-2.

@GabiU This is still not corrected for the desktop version on Macs.  Same error code for Form 8959, although it is correctly completed, all updates have been made, etc.  Looks like this is resolved for iPhone users, but not for the desktop version.  

Thanks for responding, @VolvoGirl. I bought my licenses direct from Intuit. Didn't buy any other code. Have a code for Personal. (MacOS) and one for Business (PC). 5 licenses each. Mac one activated for 2/5 licenses fine, Windows one did not. The license code is pre-populated and shows 1/5 (did you see the screen shot?). I've logged out, don't have additional accounts. I've restarted Windows. Still no luck and keep getting the "This license code is already linked to another account." error.

Are  you entering the same License Code?  Or did you buy another code?  Maybe you have another account?   That's common.   How to view all your accounts https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx It's common to end up with multiple accounts. First LOG OUT of whatever TurboTax account you're logged into right now. Then use this TurboTax account recovery website to get a list of user ID's for an email address. Run the tool against any email addresses you may have used https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery/

Not sure why you are posting about organ donation here.   We are here to answer questions about preparing income tax returns and about how to use the tax preparation software.   Do you have a tax question?

Who on Amazon did you buy it from? Amazon is listed as an authorized seller but only if it's sold and shipped by Amazon, see https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-product-orders/obtain-authentic-turbotax-programs/L1yYfitCw_US_en_US?uid=lv4rnzmq

You should be able to go to MY INFO.   First click your own name, and go through the screens.  When it asks if you were married in 2025, make sure you said YES.   Next it will ask if you want to file together with your spouse.  Say YES to that and enter your spouse's information.   A spouse can never be claimed as a dependent.  

  Amending your 2022 return will be a do-it-yourself project.  The "Live" experts do not help with amending past year returns.   If you are confused about something, you can post questions here in the user forum or seek local paid tax help.   Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-already-filed/L4VjJ9BA2_US_en_US?uid=m76mq6z2       Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.     You can watch for information here: https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return
