To import your W-2 you will have to have some confirming information.

This can come from the W-2 itself, or a final pay stub.

We need the Box 1 amount from your W-2
or the year-to-date (YTD) gross income from your year-end pay stub.
In some cases, we may need the Box d Control Number from your W-2.

If the following steps don't work you may have to enter it manually.
