i have three w2 forms this year do i just combine the amounts or do them separatly?

Question

doing my taxes this year i have three different w2s and need to know if i just combine the the amounts or enter each one separately

Answer 1

combine them! All three on one return

Answer 2

If you are filing your return by hand on paper, then you combine all the amounts onto one return.

If you are using with software (like TurboTax), then enter each one separately into a single "return" file in the program. It will do the math for you. If you are filing electronically (instead of using TT and sending in a paper copy), then you MUST enter each one separately or your return will be rejected.

BTW, questions like these are why it "costs $20 for software vs $150 for someone else to do your taxes", as an earlier poster asked. It's not enough to know what questions to ask; you have to know what to do with the answers.

Answer 3

Combine the amounts and submit each W2 with your return.

Answer 4

You add the three together and file one return.

If you are using tax software, most of them will let you enter one at a time and will do the addition for you.

Answer 5

Add all the amounts and place the total in the square for wages.

Answer 6

you enter them seperatly then have to add them togather but have to file them all three the same time

Answer 7

combine them
