Go back to Wages & Incomescoll down to Job (W-2)
Click Edit next to the W-2 and review the entries.
Make sure they both have a proper amount in box 1.
I’ve tried goin and making sure everything is correct
The only thing suspicious is it sometimes seems as though they have combined my w2s
@tamibillings69 "Suspicious? " Of course your W-2's are combined. That is what is supposed to happen. Your refund is not "per W-2." All of your income adds together and then your refund or tax due is calculated based on the totals.
WHY DID MY REFUND GO DOWN WHEN I ADDED ANOTHER W-2?
You started off with your first W-2 and your refund looked high? Then you added another W-2 and it stopped looking so good? That is normal. When you added more income, your tax liability increased, so you saw your refund decrease. The program began by giving you your standard deduction—- which lowered your taxable income. So you are not being taxed on as much of the income on that first W-2. Then you added taxable income--so the refund went down. Your refund (or tax due) is based on the total of your income, not “per W-2.” Wait until you have entered ALL of your income and credit/deduction information. You can't really tell anything until it is all entered. That “refund monitor” does not mean anything until everything has been entered.
