If i were me--before I would spend the morning fighting the technology -- I would just key the W-2 in if I had it in hand.  It takes about a minute or two.

Ditto!

I spent a long time "fixing" errors to no resolve.  The Loop was discouraging.  The problem was with the wage differences on boxes  

Box 1 Wages, tips, other compensation     Box 3 Social security wages  Box 5 Medicare wages and tips

 

Box 1 Amount had 401k contributions deducted from it
Boxes 3 & 5, wages for calculation SocialSecurity & Medicare does not deduct any after tax contributions
