TTX may transfer an empty W-2 form in from last year...with everything but the boxes filled in....But you must either:

1) Fill in the empty boxes using your paper W-2 and this year's values.  SO if the extra withholding is on your W-2 form, then it gets on the Software W-2 when you enter the data yourself

or

2) Import the 2018 W-2 form an online provider such that the boxes get filled in automatically.  But TTX doesn't import them until YOU initiate the import.  And not all employers make their W-2 forms available as import files...so sometimes you just have to use #1.

or

3)  Some people can take a picture of the W-2 with the mobile "app", but you still have to edit it to make sure everything has been entered correctly...(I don't trust that...but that's me)
