Can't e-file due to W-2

TK72903 — Sat, 14 Feb 2026 18:22:20 GMT

I am ready to file my taxes, but the TurboTax program says it can't e-file my return because one of my W-2s does not have an amount in Box 1, which is true. My question is whether my situation has an acceptable and legal workaround or if I just need to print and mail to file.

I changed jobs this year and moved states, but I worked remotely for the previous employer on a part-time basis after I moved. They sent two W-2s: one with my federal wages and state 1 taxes, and a second with only state 2 taxes. Putting in Box 14 info ("Fed W-2 Data is on separate W-2") doesn't affect that.

I'm filing in two states for state taxes, but the "error" message is about the federal return.

Thanks!

Yes, you can consolidate the two W2s and just add the additional state information for Boxes 15-16-17 so you can efile.
