Erroneous downloaded W-2

[Fredsgirl1952]

Intuit Turbo tax continually incorrectly downloaded info from the W-2.  It indicated a $19,608 withdrawal from SS or Railroad Retirement Board.  After calling EVERYONE imaginable and spending many late nights, I filed with free tax service.  I’m going to fight tooth and nail to get a refund.

Did you have retirement income?   Retirement income is not reported on a W-2.  Retirement income is reported on other forms like SSA1099, 1099RRB, or a 1099R.

Social Security and/or railroad retirement benefits are not reported on a W-2.   Social Security would have been on a SSA1099; a SSA1099 cannot be "downloaded"--- it must be keyed in by hand.

Did you work for a railroad?   If so, you would have entered railroad retirement using a 1099RRB----not a W-2.   You would only have a W-2 for time when you were still actively working for the railroad.
