I did my taxes with Turbotax 2022 and just had 1 W2, some Social Secutity sss-1099, some interest and an IRA withdrawal. It was rejected: FW2-001-02 How do I fix

I got the email and went into Turbo Tax Retunr and it was supposed to fix the problem, but it just gave me the same message (The sum of all Form W-2s, 'WagesAmt' must not be greater than the sum of ['WagesSalariesAndTipsAmt' in the return and (sum of all Schedule C (Form 1040), 'TotalGrossReceiptsAmt' when 'StatutoryEmployeeFromW2Ind' is checked)] unless Form 8958 or Form 8839 is present in the return.) It told me to fix the error.   How do I?

If you imported your W-2, 1099-Int, or 1099-R, go back to your Federal return, delete the current entries, and enter them manually.

There were amounts reported in imported Box 10 on the W-2 and Box 16 of the 1099-R that populated tax forms incorrectly, causing a return reject.

I was surprised to have TT check the return for errors and then be rejected...   Maybe the CHECK should be checked!!

I suspected that was the problem because the W2 downloaded showed up as "Other Income"!

I have been doing my taxes with TT for over 15 years with the same W2 and it always showed up as Income.

I entered the W2 manually and it was accepted!

I tried to look for some way to have a chat with TurboTax support to let them know about the problem but could NOT find any on the TT website..

Thanks for answering the question!!
