I worked for the same University in two different states. There is tax for both states. The program is asking me to remove duplicate W2's. How do I bypass this step?

Frustrated with being told to "review" this section and it is a dead end loop. What now?

If you entered two W-2's for the same employer, with the same EIN, then return to Wages & Income and delete one of the forms.

When you get to the State Taxes section (Boxes 15-17), enter the information for both states (income and withholding) on just one W-2 even if you received two separate forms from your employer.

You can add more lines/boxes if necessary by clicking on the link "+Add another state".

See this help article for more information.
