Where do I put in my w2 import code? I've always used it before, but this year I can't find anywhere to use it.

I can't find anywhere to use my w2 import code. I've always used it before, but this year I can't find anywhere to type it in to import my information.

W-2's come from your employer, and they have until January 31 to issue it.  Some employers allow you to import the W-2 through the software, but for security reasons you still need information from the actual W-2 to import it.  You might need to phone, drop in, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.

And….SAVE YOUR OWN W-2!  TURBOTAX DOES NOT SAVE IT FOR YOU.  TurboTax will not have a copy of it in your account and will not have an image even if you snapped a photo or imported it.  It is up to you to save it for your own records as stated on the back of the W-2.

To import the W-2 you must have the W-2 issued to you by your employer.  The Control Number on the W-2 is required to import along with the Gross Income in box 1 and the Employer EIN.
