I am trying to enter W2 information in. The employer name is P & B Mechanical Inc. I enter it just as it is on the W2. However, every time I finish it shows up as "P &amp B Mechanical Inc." I am not sure how to fix it or what to do with it. I can enter it fine as P and B Mechanical Inc. but then it will not match the W2 exactly. Any suggestions?

Use the word and instead of &
Sometimes special characters like the ampersand just are not interpreted correctly by computer programs.
Following the suggestion to enter the word 'and' instead of the ampersand should fix the situation you are seeing on the screen. It should not cause any issue with the IRS because they are more concerned with the Federal ID number matching the information in their system than the employer name.
