🚨 TaxSlayer - IRS Reject Code FW2-001-03

This occurs when the total wages reported on Form W-2 exceed the sum of wages in the tax return and Schedule C gross receipts (if statutory employee income is checked). A small variance of $5.00 is allowed.

πŸ” Common Reasons for This Reject:

  • A W-2 is marked as statutory, but its income was not reported correctly on Schedule C.

  • The statutory income was mistakenly included in gross receipts rather than its designated income line.

  • Additional non-statutory income was incorrectly mixed into the same Schedule C.

βœ… How to Fix:

  1. Review the W-2 entry and confirm if the "Statutory Employee" box is checked.

  2. Ensure the statutory W-2 income is correctly reported on Schedule C:

    • Do not include statutory income in gross receipts.

    • Do not mix statutory and non-statutory income in the same Schedule C.

  3. If the taxpayer is not a statutory employee, uncheck the box in the W-2 entry.

  4. If needed, check for Form 8958 or Schedule 1 adjustments that might resolve the discrepancy.

πŸ”„ Once corrected, resubmit the return to resolve the rejection. πŸš€
