Problems with an '&' in the company name of the W-2

Anyone else get the bug when you have an '&' in the company name of the W-2 and it gets replaced with '&amp' ?  I dont want to submit with this issue.

 

This tax year 2021 has been the most buggy TurboTax I have experienced :(

Try working around it by using the word "and" instead of the symbol

Remove the & in the company name so that you can continue and file your tax return.  The IRS only looks at the EIN on the W-2 so the name is not an issue for filing.
