I don't understand why my total earnings are marked as only about a third of what I earned... I have two boxes that say "copy 2", should I have inputted them?

"Copy 2" boxes should I have inputted them?

NO, you only enter the main copy of your W-2.

 

Other than that, never upload a picture or PDF copy of your W-2....that way of entering it only leads to frustration, and possibly screwed up number in the wrong software boxes.

 

Edit the entire W-2 and make sure every $$ amount has been "properly" entered in the correct boxes.   And don't enter any 0.00 values that might show up in some boxes.  any zero values should be left blank in the software form.

what documents do you have to document your earnings?

are they other than W-2s?

 

If the W-2 does not show your earnings, ask the employer for a corrected W-2.
