W2

My W2 amount is being put on Schedule 1 instead of on 1040, line 1a.  I've had this same W2 for years and never had this problem before with TurboTax. I've tried deleting and re-entering the W2 info, with the same results.

It sounds like you may have income reported in Box 11 on Form W-2.  That income is properly reported on Schedule 1, Line 8t.  If you do not have income reported there, you may want to delete the W2 and re-enter it (by hand if previously you had imported it.)

What line of Schedule 1 are you seeing your W-2 on?   Are you sure you are not talking about a W-2G for gambling?   A W-2G would be on Schedule 1.

It's a normal W2.  It's being put on Schedule 1, line 8t.  That could make sense, however, in the past, it has always gone on 1040, line 1a.
