@cjmckinney77    Ahhh, those are new codes the IRS is attempting to implement, that TTX doesn't yet, and may not support this year. One CHAMP indicated they've been delayed until the 2026 tax w-2 next year...but I'm a bit uncertain at this point.  And the IRS has apparently did say they are delaying those two codes for 2025 W-2 forms....so not sure what you do...ignore those two box 12 entries, but DO report those $$ using the check boxes on the page following the main W-2 form  (might work, might not)??   TP for total tips, and TT for overtime

You are seeing this because the amount of Medicare taxes withheld in box 6 is Not exactly 1.45% of the Medicare wages in box 5.  Remove any cents for the Medicare wages and see if the upgrade message goes away. OR - Delete the w-2 and re-enter.  Make sure the amount in box 6 is 1.45% or less of the amount in box 5.

Employers (or former employers) have until January 31st to provide their employees access to their W-2 or to send the W-2 to the employees by mail.  So, you may still receive your W-2.  If you do not receive it shortly after January 31st, you may need to contact the IRS to get further assistance.   The following TurboTax help article will give you more detailed information about what steps you should take if you do not get your W-2:   What To Do If You Haven't Received a W-2

@saltypaws1    When importing, I got a pop-up indicating that some strangely-numbered Turbotax thing wanted to connect to a device on my network....I had to allow before the $$ really transferred.  (of course if you are nervous about doing that, skip the import and type yours in manually...it's really easy)   The first time I tried, I just hit the X (close) in the upper rt corner of the pop-up and then nothing xfered.   Even so, I had to edit the 1099-INT, and remove all the $0.00 values it put in a bunch of boxes.  Those $0.00 boxes should be left empty...including the state withholding one  (unless you actually had state taxes withheld..unlikely)  _________________________ But, in a big improvement over prior years, this year it transferred just the final total 1099-INT from my account.  In prior years, it created two, one each for a MMkt, and one CD....But then skipped a couple other CDs I had.   Really, only the total 1099-INT was needed...not separate ones for each CD.
