I suggest you post it manually.

  • Make a copy, or photo the screen of your W-2
  • Follow these steps to post it manually.
  1. Start out at Federal 
  2. Wages & Income 
  3. Select Wages and Salaries, or Revisit
  4. Select add a W-2 for the appropriate person if married.
  5. Post the tax ID number for the employer
  6. If you want to import the W-2, enter the value from box 1 of the W-2
    1. Follow instructions for the import.
  7. ------------To Type it Yourself-------------------------
  8. Select [Change how I enter my form]
  9. [Type it Myself]
  10. Enter the W-2 information
