The w-2 I have uploaded shows the withholdings for my local school district tax. I had 2, w-2's that I uploaded. Only one of those w-2's information is being shown when I get to my state taxes. It is saying I still owe all of my school district tax and not accounting for the withholding section of my w-2. It is like the system is not carrying the information over if that makes sense...

You will need to delete the W-2 that is missing the information in your return and then type it in yourself to make sure that all the information is entered.

 

To delete a form In TurboTax Online, here's the general procedure for viewing a list of all the forms in your return and deleting unwanted forms, schedules, and worksheets in TurboTax Online:

  1. Sign in to TurboTax and open your return by selecting Continue or Pick up where you left off
  2. In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools
  3. In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form
  4. Select Delete next to the form, schedule, and worksheet in the list and follow the instructions

To manually enter your W-2 info:

  1. From Tax Home, open or continue your return
  2. In the search bar, search for W-2
  3. Select the Jump to link at the top of the search results
  4. At the Let's get your W-2 info screen, select Work on my W-2 and Continue
    • If you land on the Here’s your W-2 info screen, select Add another W-2
  5. When asked to enter your employer's EIN, leave this section blank and Continue
  6. On the next screen, select Type it in myself and Continue
  7. Follow the instructions on the next screens to manually enter your W-2 info

I appreciate you taking the time to write out that response. But the current W-2 already shows that information correctly. Do you think re-entering it will then help it auto populate correctly into the other sections? I really don’t want to have to manually type it all in when it’s already there if that makes sense.

Something in the line 15 through 20 of the W-2 reporting the local school district tax withheld is not connecting with the TurboTax software.

 

Deleting and re-entering that information may allow it connect.  

 

Sometimes in the download there can be characters that are not visible to the eye that do not allow the software to connect.  

 

This is the possibility that @PattiF was addressing.
