Question

Why did I get a letter saying there was a discrepancy about my state withholding?

The information on my Az form matches the combined withholdings for my husband and myself. I took a picture of w2 forms and submitted to turbo tax so I don’t see how there can be an error

Occasionally the discrepancy is on the employer side- they reported a different amount on the W2 than they reported or paid to the state.  If you receive a notice from the state, you should reply as they request- usually they will ask you to provide copies of your W2s to verify this information.

.......beyond responding as AZ tells you to

.......Never trust the picture method, make sure you always confirm the entries for every box by editing the W-2 to make sure all is in the correct spot.  Pictures are not flawless, and sometimes $$ get stuck in the wrong boxes, or codes can be mis-assigned.
