Do I enter the corrected figure(s) from my W2c on (1) of my W2s or do I split it in half and put 50% on one W2 and 50% on my 2nd W2? I have 2 W2s, 1 W2c that covers both.

Ex. Social Security Wages over both W2s were too high/over the limit. My employer corrected this by sending 1 W2c that took the sum of my 2 W2s SS wages as the "previous" figure and made the "corrected" figure the max.

TurboTax requests W2 information to be completed for each W2 received. So I don't know whether to put $0.00 for SS Wages on 1 W2 and the full "corrected" figure on the 2nd W2; or to apply 50% of the "corrected" figure on each W2. The sum is the same either way

If the corrected W-2 ONLY shows the correction (it does not repeat the unchanged boxes as well) enter both original W-2 forms and adjust each for the correction.

(it the corrected W-2 has EVERYTHING reported, just enter that one)

Luckily it sounds like you understand the correction, so it the W-2c does not include everything you need to report, adjust both W-2 forms.

Thank you for the quick response! So in my example case with the SSN wages, it is the only thing it cites as corrected on the W-2c. Therefore, based on your advise, I should input 50% of the corrected SSN W2c wages on each W2?

Note, I have not been issued a corrected W2. Only 1 W2c, and 2 W2s from my employer due to a change in position that are otherwise correct except for the SSN wages.

I appreciate the help!

Yes, it is a bit odd that they issued two original W-2's but only one W-2C.
Yes, I would allocate the correction to the two original W-2 's however the corrected income may not match the tax withheld on the W-2 and the program might point this out. You can continue past this "potential error' screen and it will all even out when both W-2's are entered.

Awesome! Thank you very much!
