    If your wages or withholding didn't transfer to your state return:

    1. Revisit the W-2 section in the Federal return.
    2. From the Your W-2 summary screen, select Review/Edit.
    3. Continue to the next screen, Now let's update the rest. Locate Boxes 15-17 (state wages and taxes withheld) and check the following:
      • Box 15 State should contain the correct 2-digit state code. 
      • Box 16 Wages should contain the wages that were earned in the box 15 state
      • Box 17 State Income Tax should contain the taxes withheld amount (the withholding) for the state in box 15.
    4. Select Continue two times to return to the W-2 Summary screen. Select Done. If necessary, repeat these steps for other W-2s.

    I tried that its not working.  TT saying that if the W2 is blank that I should not make an entry.  Does it matter that this is imputed income only?.

     

    thanks.

    what I meant by blank, that no deductions were made for state or local taxes, only federal.

     

    Cheers,
