We received two W-2c from past years. How do we enter those?

If you received two W2c Corrected Wage and Tax Statement from different years you will need to amend the tax returns for those years.

 

For TurboTax Online, simply login to your account and select “Amend a return that was filed and accepted.” If you used our CD/download product, sign back into your return and select “Amend a filed return.

I am in the same situation, but the answer that a previous year return has to be amended is not correct in at least my situation, according to my accountant from last year and IRS pubs. Tax laws changed in 2018, and in my case, where I was overpaid income in 2018, then repaid it in 2019, and received a new corrected W2 in 2019, IRS pub 525 for 2018 returns states under the section called Repayments that the overpaid income must be reported in 2018 taxes as that uncorrected W2 stated, and the difference in the W2C is reported with 2019 taxes when the corrected W2 was received, and one of 2 methods is used to correct the difference
