Return to the Income section of the return and add a W-2 for your new employer (if you haven't done so already).  After adding the new employer, just delete the w-2 for the old employer for whom you no longer work.

Unfortunately, this did not work.  In 2015 I worked for employer A.  I removed the W-2 for Employer A, then added Employer B.  When reviewing everything, there is a line item showing Employer B and income for 2015 and 2016.  However, I never worked for Employer B in 2015, but it is a salary in the 2015 column in Employer B row.

It is there for comparison purposes, you can compare your 2015 W-2 income to your 2016 W-2 income, even though you didn't earn it from "employer B" in 2015.

Thank you!  That makes sense.  The UI definitely needs a way of showing this so avoid confusion.
