My wife works in FL and we live in PA, her W-2 didn't list PA in box 15 and thus her w-2 will not pull into the state return. Is there a solution for this?

Here's a step-by-step guide to add Pennsylvania to your wife's state return in TurboTax:

1. Log into TurboTax.
2. Navigate to the "State Taxes" tab.
3. Click the drop-down menu and select the pencil icon to edit states.
4. Click "Let's Get Started".
5. Under the status of your state return, click the tab at the bottom of the page that says "Add Another State".
6. Select "Pennsylvania" and follow the prompts to enter the necessary information.

Hi, I've done that and the issue is, that since PA is not listed in box 15 of her W-2, Turbo Tax doesn't pull her W-2 into the state return.  Her income, however, is taxable in PA so I need to include it.  There is no option to "add another w-2" within the state process.  However, if I add PA to box 15 of her W-2 (which I'm not sure is allowed) it does pull in.  Hopefully that helps clarify the issue.  It's basically a gap in the software where I can't get her W-2 added to the state return as no state information is present on the W-2 (box 15, 16, 17).  Thanks

It will not "hurt" anything if you change the W-2 to PA since there were no withholdings. So, yes, you can make the change on the W-2. 

However, as you walk through the PA return, you should see a compensation summary.  ON this summary, you can select edit and then add that income to the PA amount by selecting I need to make an adjustment to the taxable amount of this income if you are sure it is NOT included in the PA income. 

If PA is selected as your home/resident state, this income should be automatically included as PA would tax ALL income from ALL sources regardless of the state it was earned in.
