Here's how to take a picture of your W-2 and upload it to TurboTax Online:
Go to the Form W-2 screen under Income in the Federal section
After entering the employer ID from your W-2, select Snap a photo with your phone on the How would you like to add your W-2? screen.
Open your phone’s camera, hold it over the QR code, and tap the link that appears.
Turn on the camera permissions, if prompted.
You'll be prompted on your phone to take a photo of your W-2.
If you have an iPhone, it must use iOS 17 or higher. If you have an Android phone, it must run Android 10 or higher.
