You might have entered a box wrong.</P> Fri, 21 Jun 2019 02:18:58 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-what-reason-would-the-irs-have-for-saying-my-return-does-not-match-my-w2s/01/817779#M322762 VolvoGirl 2019-06-21T02:18:58Z Re: What reason would the IRS have for saying my return does not match my W2s? https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-what-reason-would-the-irs-have-for-saying-my-return-does-not-match-my-w2s/01/817785#M322763 <P>You also may have used W-2's for the wrong year. For example, if you filed a 2018 tax return, is it possible you used W-2's from 2017? So check that, as that mistake is not as uncommon as one may think.</P> Fri, 21 Jun 2019 02:34:15 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-what-reason-would-the-irs-have-for-saying-my-return-does-not-match-my-w2s/01/817785#M322763 Carl 2019-06-21T02:34:15Z
