I'm married and filing jointly. TurboTax counted my wages twice. Federal wages: my wages + my husbands wages. Mass wages: (2* my wages) + my husbands wages.

Please clarify your question.

• Were wages doubled on both federal and State tax returns?
• Do you and your husband show the same wages?
• Did you enter your wages twice?

Please contact us again to provide some additional details.

Hi, I think this is all addressed in my question.  I'll copy what I wrote there:

Federal wages: my wages + my husbands wages.

Mass wages: (2* my wages) + my husbands wages.

I entered one W2 for me, and one for my husband.

On the final calculation, the total federal wages etc are correctly the sum of my wages and my husband's wages.

On the final calculation, the total state wages etc are incorrectly 40% higher than the state wages, by almost exactly the amount of my wages.

TurboTax automatically populates my state numbers, and does not provide any mechanism for me to see why the state #s are 40% higher than the federal #s.

I discovered the issue. The OCR import of Husband's W2 hallucinated a 5 in front of his state reported taxable income.
