There are several ways to enter your W-2. You can key it in by hand, you can import it from a payroll site if your employer is partnered with TT to allow that, or you can snap a photo if you are using the mobile app.
ALL of your 2024 W-2’s must be entered on the SAME tax return.
Go to Federal>Wages & Income to enter a W-2.
After you enter the first one, you click Add Another W-2.
W-2's come from your employer, and they have until January 31 to issue it. Some employers allow you to import the W-2 through the software, but for security reasons you still need information from the actual W-2 to import it. Some employers have payroll sites that will have your W-2. You might need to phone, text, drop in, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.
And….SAVE YOUR OWN W-2! TURBOTAX DOES NOT SAVE IT FOR YOU. TurboTax will not have a copy of it in your account and will not have an image even if you snapped a photo or imported it. It is up to you to save it for your own records as stated on the back of the W-2.
And if you upload it by taking a picture...be sure to review the entry for each and every box.
Picture uploads of W-2 forms have resulted in the most reported errors, particularly in the box 15, 16, 17 entries where you may need to correct the values in them.
Also, some of the box 12 and box 14 entries may need some additional editing by you.
