Question

Before filing, how do I know if for state taxes, box 16 on the W-2 was used and not box 2? It never imported my W-2 nor did it ask me to enter box 16.

Did you type in the W-2 yourself in Federal > Wages and Income?

yes, should I import it and see if that works?  I found that Turbo Tax is using my federal Box 2 when it should be using Box 16 amount for CA state taxes.

Go to Federal >Wages and Income to see exactly what's there.
