After entering the information from the W-2 form in Turbo Tax Deluxe, the question asks you to check the box if the employer IS a 'State or Local Government". I checked the box during the interview phase. When you go to the forms version and view the W-2 information form, the box is checked. However, on the worksheet the question reads that the box is checked to indicate that the employer is NOT a "State or Local Government". I can uncheck the box on the form. However, does the information get submitted to the IRS based on the form or does it get submitted based on how you answered during the interview?
I feel like this is a mistake in the software either on the form or is the interview question worded incorrectly? I spoke with a TurboTax representative and shared my screen, he was able to see the discrepancy but was not able to answer why the information appeared that way or which information would get submitted to IRS.
