W2 income is not transferring to 1040

I only have one W2. The wages from box 1 on my W2 are not showing up on line 1a of my 1040. I sent a diagnostic copy. Token # 1045470150-77666676.

Is there an amount in box 11 of the W-2? If so, this amount is required to be included on Schedule 1 line 8t, not on Form 1040 line 1a.

Did you import it? Sometimes the import comes in wrong. Try deleting the W2 and enter it again Manually. That usually fixes it.

I deleted the imported W2.

When I did so my refund increased.

When I entered the W2 manually my refund went back to its previous amount.

However, the wages in box 1 are still not transferring to the 1040 or to the Wages worksheet.

I tried entering the correct amount to the worksheet but it does not allow me to do that.

I sent you a diagnostic file, see the token number in my previous post.

That resolves it!

Yes it shows up as additional income and is included on line 8 of the 1040.

Thank you!!
