  2. Access the W-2 Form – In the Forms Tree, look for Form W-2 and open it.


  3. Enter / Verify Employer Information – Fill in the employer's name, address, and Employer Identification Number (EIN).


  4. Input Wage Details – Enter the amounts from the physical W-2 form, including:

    • Box 1: Wages, tips, and other compensation

    • Box 2: Federal income tax withheld

    • Box 3-6: Social Security and Medicare wages/taxes

    • Box 12: Any additional codes and amounts


  5. State and Local Information – If applicable, complete the state wages, state tax withheld, and employer state ID.
