Yes, the incarcerated wages are associated with prison. Which state rejected the return?

I was in prison 2020-2022 my agi for 2022 is on that line for incarcerated wages that’s is why it’s rejecting and ohio

[PattiF]

To clarify this, do you have a reject code for the rejected return from Ohio?

[kt106395]

No code it just tells me the incarcerated earned wages is the reason who do I fix that and how do they want me to know how much the prison was paying me

Without seeing your return it's difficult to analyze, but I want to check a specific area of the input screens.

Be sure that the entry that follows is correct.

1. Start at Federal Taxes
2. Wages & Income
3. Click Edit next to your W-2 information.
4. Make sure all W-2 information is correct.
5. Continue
6. Click Continue on the next screen.
7. On the page about Let's check for uncommon situations. Confirm the entry in Inmate or lived in a Halfway House.

If this does not completely answer your question, please contact us again and provide some additional details.
