Can I scan my W-2 and import it?

I'm using the online version on a laptop.

You can take a picture of your W-2 using the Mobile app, then you can upload your W-2 to Online.

Oh, ok.  Why don't they tell you that in the online program?  I have a PDF copy of the W-2.  When I choose that option to upload, it just goes to the next page where the only buttons available are to go back, or to "Skip PDF Upload."  I wanted to upload it and chose that option.  Why would I then want to skip uploading?  Who programs this stuff?  LOL

Resolved:  I Signed out, quit out of Chrome, restarted computer, and tried again.  It actually took two more tries, but eventually I got the button that allowed me to browse for the PDF file to upload my W-2.  Argh.

Sorry you had so much trouble.  I am glad you were finally able to upload your W-2.
