⚠️ Before You Begin
Before making changes, confirm that:
- You have a Form W-2 with a code Q in Box 12.
- You are updating the Taxpayer Information section on the Main Information Sheet.
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Enter the Combat Zone in the correct field
Use this when you need to ensure the Combat Zone is recognized for electronic filing.
Make sure that the Combat Zone is entered in the Special Processing entry of the Taxpayer Information section near the top of the Main Information Sheet.
Whenever Form W-2 has a code Q in Box 12, this field should be completed.
Step 2: Choose a valid Combat Zone option (exact match required)
Use this when the Combat Zone you need is not shown on the list.
Some of the valid combat zones are listed on the Main Info form. If the relevant combat zone is not listed, you can use:
- Combat Zone
- Combat Zone YYYYMMDD (where YYYYMMDD is the date of deployment)
Important:
- You cannot put anything in this field that is not listed as an option.
- It must be entered exactly as shown.
