This guide shows you how to:
- Follow the steps below - Filling out a W-2
⚠️ Before You Begin
You will need access to your Sure-Fire tax software and the return you are working on.
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Arguably one of the most common forms on a return, the W2, can be added with ease. Head to the first page of the 1040 and select line 7. Right-click the field and select the link option.
Then from the list, select the W2 and OK to add it.
On the form itself, you can dictate if it’s for the taxpayer or for the spouse, along with if the address needs to be adjusted from what is on the return itself.
From there, you will input the information from the boxes on the W2 you received from your client.
Notice below there is also a location for state information if that is needed.
Once the W2 is complete, you will see the amount from box 1 appear on line 7.
❌ Common Errors
If something doesn’t show up or looks incorrect, double-check that you linked the right statement lines and try again.
