Question

Me and my husband worked the same branch, location and hours. It's accepting my W2 but not his. As if "duplicate"

It's not allowing me to edit his information even when I snap a photo.

This is a safeguard to prevent duplicate entries.  There is a workaround for it.

 

Log into TurboTax.

  1. Select Wages & Income
  2. Select the W-2 input section.
  3. If you’ve already posted documents they will appear at the top. 
  4. You can change existing entries with the [Review] button.
  5. If you can't edit the record, delete it using the trash can on the right.
  6. You can Add a W-2 by selecting the person that the W-2 is for, from the bottom of the list.
  7. [+ Add a W-2 for XXXX]

Now, Repost, or edit your husbands W-2.

  • Make everything exactly the same except:
  • Add $1 to boxes 1, 3, and 5
  • This will not effect any of your taxes
  • It will make your husbands W-2 different from yours.
