How do I make my turbotax name match the name on my W2?

[tferg518]

I had a legal name change in December of 2024. My W2 has my legal name, Turbotax does not.

The name on your W-2 and the name on your tax return do not have to match.  Only the Social Security numbers must be the same.

On your tax return you should be entering the name that is on your current Social Security card.
