Its requesting that I remove the wages. Do I calculate the difference and place it in a different area?

    There is no reason to assume the boxes are incorrect.  As example, Pennsylvania (PA) does not allow a reduction in wages for any amounts contributed to a 401(k), which would create higher state wages than federal.  

     

    Unless you have a distinct and known reason the state wages are incorrect, you should enter the W-2 exactly as it appears. TurboTax will accept the entries.

     

    You can try to delete the W-2 and then re-enter it yourself without import.  You'll need to delete this form --------------------.

    If you are unsure of the difference you can contact LHP Montclair LLC or review your W-2 with the last pay stub from 2024.
