I did that at the beginning, but in the "review" process it just kept requesting the information for a 2019 employer. Even deleted the entire form and started over to make sure I deleted the previous W-2, but the same thing happened during the second returns "review process." Got it completed but still not sure why that information was requiring to be input.
