There is nothing you can do to make it better ... and don't think about leaving off a W-2 because the IRS also gets a copy so they know if you don't report all your income.</P> Thu, 06 Jun 2019 15:46:21 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/oh-boy-no-all-your-income-is-totaled-then-the-dedu/01/727747#M96437 Critter 2019-06-06T15:46:21Z
