Two W-2Cs - single employer - single year (2022)

Background.  My daughter - I do her income taxes - received two W2Cs from her employer via ADP Payroll.  [She relocated from D.C. to Virginia but though she advised her employer and the employer acknowledged in writing, somehow the change was not made.  When she noticed the error, the employer apologized and directed ADP Payroll to fix it.  It was done brilliantly with state withholding shifted appropriately.]  For some unknown reason ADP Payroll issued two (2) W-2Cs.  Looking at the "previous" and "current" withholding fields, it is clearly the case that there is a 1st W-2C and then a 2nd W-2C that further corrects.  I do not think that I can just submit the 2nd W-2C.

 

Question: How do I these W-2 corrections into 2022 TurboTax Home & Business?  Do I enter both W-2Cs or just the 2nd one?  If I need to enter both, what is the process?

You don't enter a W-2c separately in TurboTax. When you enter the W-2, for any box that was corrected you enter the corrected amount from the W-2c instead of the amount on the original W-2. If a particular box was corrected twice, enter only the most recent corrected amount. You will end up with only one W-2 in TurboTax, but it will have the final corrected amounts.

After you enter the W-2, you will come to a screen that says "Let's check for uncommon situations." On that screen, check the box that says "W-2 was corrected by my employer (Form W-2c)."
