We file married/joint, both retired with no employer income in 2022. Turbo Tax asks for our W-2s and we cannot proceed without W-2s that we will never have. How proceed?

Unsure how to complete 2022 taxes when program asks for W-2s that we will never have due to no employer W2s.

Elect to enter your W-2 income, and then select the option for "I don't have a W-2". Then you must click the Continue or Done button, and carry on.

A W2 may have transferred over when you started your 2022 return.  You can go to the Income section and remove any W2's that are listed.

How do I change my W-2 info in TurboTax?

You can change or delete your W-2 info if you haven't filed your taxes yet

In TurboTax Online or CD/Download:

1. Open or continue your return
2. From the menu, select Search and type-in W-2
3. Select the Jump to link in the search results
4. On the Your W-2 info so far screen, select Edit next to the W-2 you want to change
5. Select the trash can Delete icon to delete the W-2

In the TurboTax mobile app:

1. Open or continue your return
2. Select Wages & Income
3. Select Review/Edit
4. Select Job (W-2)
5. Select Review to edit the W-2
6. Select the three-dot icon and select Delete

If you already e-filed, wait until your return is either accepted or rejected.

• If rejected, you can edit the W-2 as instructed in this article before resubmitting or paper-filing your return
• If accepted (or if you already paper-filed), you'll probably need to amend your return if the edits you're making will cause your taxes to change
