If the verification code is showing as invalid, simply skip Import and enter your W-2 manually.  If you have some of it already entered you can just edit it or delete the W2 and enter it again.

(See screen shot)

How do I enter my W-2?

  1. Select Take me to my return in TurboTax.
  2. Type “W-2” in the Search box.
  3. Select the “Jump to W-2” link.
  4. At the Let’s get/start with your W-2 info screen, select Work on my W-2 now and then Continue. (Or, Add Another W-2 if you see the Here’s your W-2 info screen.)
  5. The next screen asks for the Employer ID Number, don’t enter it, just select Continue.
  6. On the Let’s type in the rest of your W-2 info screen, you can manually enter your info.
