W2G Needs Review

msditz641 — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 09:34:38 GMT

"Needs Review" will not go away on W2G form and it doesn't tell me what needs to be reviewed. I have tried deleting and entering info several times, cleared cache, added zeros in blanks and nothing seems to work. How can I get the needs review to go away so I can file my taxes?

I paid state taxes so there is information that needs to be added in boxes 13-16. If I don't enter this information is the only way it doesn't show "needs review".

Did you get this resolved? I'm having the same issue on mine as well, and I cannot seem to get past it. Turbo Tax doesn't detect an error either.

The needs review message usually does not prevent e-file. Click all the way through the gambling income section; you have to answer the gambling loss questions after entering your winnings. Let us know if you are prevented from submitting your tax return. @coondangee

@DawnC you are correct that it does not prevent me from filing, but it does not consider the federal taxes that were withheld. This is causing me to pay more in taxes.

Did you enter the withholdings from w2-g in Box 4? If so, those withholdings are included on Line 25c on Form 1040. You can preview your Form 1040 to verify your withholding were accounted for. Preview Form 1040. @coondangee
