My medicare wages are greater than my PA state wages, is that a problem and should i make a statement?

The difference is GTL in my situation. Does that mean I need to print and send in my W-2 with that as my attestation or can I just submit my taxes as is and expect to not have a problem?

It is not unusual or out of the ordinary to have medicare wages in W2 box 5 be higher than PA state wages in box 16.  You can e-file normally; this should not cause any tax issues.  

 

I assume GTL is Group Term Life insurance this is pre-tax so not in box 1 or box 16 but would show up in boxes 3 and 5 on your W2.

Jean01, thanks for this excellent explanation.  My Medicare and PA wages only differ by the amount listed under code C, so I'm going to ignore the new Turbotax question and file normally without explanation or sending in my W2.
