Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

When transferring my W-2 info from federal to state taxes, the software botched my income and will not let me edit it. It is now showing significantly more income.

It will not let me edit. It did not affect my refund but I don't want to risk an audit. How can I correct this?

When transferring my W-2 info from federal to state taxes, the software botched my income and will not let me edit it. It is now showing significantly more income.

Have you tried to edit the W-2 following these steps?

1)    Sign into TurboTax Online.

2)    Continue your return by click Taxes Tax Timeline > Take me to my Return.

3)    Search for W-2 (upper- or lower-case, with or without the dash).

4)    Click the "Jump to W-2" link in the search results. 

5)    We'll take you to a screen where you can edit or delete the W-2's you have already entered. (screenshots attached)

If you are unable to edit the fields on your W-2, I recommend deleting the W-2 and entering it manually.
