Box 18 w2 has a negative amount and the system will not allow me to enter. The amount must be greater then 0

You can't have negative local wages. Are you looking at a W2 and not a different form?

[ChristinaS]

That's a mistake. You don't make negative income on a W2.

[ChristinaS]

Are your wages on this W2 $3540?

[amymiddendorf]

No, there is no correlation in this amount to the other amounts.  It may have to do with a local tax or it's a payroll mistake, I will contact them.  Thanks for your help : )

[ChristinaS]

You're welcome. And, yes, negative earnings is a pretty crazy thing to have on a W2- so maybe they can explain that.

[amymiddendorf]

Yes, it is definitely the W2 and reads:   -3540.00
