You can import your W-2 into the TurboTax mobile app by taking a picture of it. Here’s how:
- Open the app and select Start or Review/Edit under Wages & Income
- On the We'll start with your W-2 screen, select Work on my W-2, then Continue
- Enter your Employer ID when prompted, then Continue
- If a screen appears saying We can import your info automatically, select the button Change how I enter my form
- When you see the How do you want to enter your W-2? screen, tap Snap a photo and then Continue
- If asked, give permission to TurboTax to access your camera
- Helpful tips might appear before you see the option to select Now let's snap a photo
- Note: Although TurboTax will use your device's camera, the W-2 picture won't be saved with your other device pictures, nor in your TurboTax account
- TurboTax should then automatically import your information, or direct you to type it in if there’s a problem
