Adding multiple W-2s

When Would You Have Multiple W-2s?

It's more common than you'd think. You might have multiple W-2s if:

• You **changed jobs** during the year
• You held **two or more jobs** at the same time
• You worked for the same company but they changed **payroll providers** mid-year
• Your employer has **multiple EINs** (common with large companies or franchises)

Each W-2 represents wages from a specific employer and period, and every one of them needs to go on your return.

How to Add Each W-2

Step 1: Navigate to Income

Click Income in the left sidebar, then select W-2 wages. You'll see any W-2s you've already added listed here.

Step 2: Click "Add W-2"

Click the Add W-2 button to start a new entry. You can upload a photo or PDF, or enter the information manually.

Step 3: Repeat for Each W-2

Add each W-2 one at a time. After saving one, click Add W-2 again for the next one. There's no limit to how many you can add.

Assigning W-2s to the Right Person

If you're filing jointly and both you and your spouse have W-2s, make sure each W-2 is assigned to the correct person. When adding a W-2, you'll see a "Whose W-2 is this?" dropdown—select the right household member.

Getting this wrong can cause calculation errors, so double-check.

Common Pitfalls

• **Don't combine W-2s** — Each W-2 is a separate entry, even if they're from the same employer
• **Watch for duplicates** — If you uploaded one and also entered it manually, you'll have it twice
• **Check the totals** — After adding all W-2s, your total wages on the dashboard should roughly match what you actually earned
• **Missing a W-2?** — If you haven't received a W-2 by mid-February, contact your employer. You can also check your last paystub of the year as a reference.
