My federal refund is showing only one of my two w2 taxes paid. Why? I have uploaded both w2s already.

Edit each one and make sure every box $$ amount is registering in the proper box.....along with proper codes in box 12, and 14  (if used)

 

You may not have done it this way, but Uploaded pictures, of W-2 forms are prone to massive errors.

Are you sure hat both W-2s are listed in your Income section?  

 

  1. Open your return.
  2. Search for "w2" in the Search box.
  3. Click on "jump to w2" link.
  4. On Income Summary page, Click on Edit of W-2 in question or "Add" if your second W-2x is not showing.

Check 1040 line 25a.  Should be the total of W2 box 2.  

 

If you are saying you think the Refund is too low,  that's common. It just looks that way because you put them in as separate W2s and saw the tax due change in between them. If it was all on one W2 you would get the same result. And each job was withholding like it was your only job.


Because you only get one standard deduction no matter how many W2s you enter. Turbo Tax starts out by giving you the Standard Deduction. You entered more income when you entered the second W2 but you didn’t enter more deductions. And each job only withheld taxes like it was our only job for the year. You might want to adjust your withholding. Also as you add more income you might not be getting as many credits as before like the EIC credit.
