How to enter and eFile Form W-2 and or Form W-2G on eFile.com for a tax return?

The easiest way to enter your W-2 forms is by following the tax interview as this is the first form you will be asked for. Otherwise, it can be added under Federal Taxes > Income.

Enter one or multiple form(s) on this screen by clicking Add Form on the right. When you first begin preparing your tax return, after entering your identifying information, the first form you will be asked about is the W-2. Report one or multiple W-2s here before moving on to the other forms. Enter all the items on your form on the corresponding entries on the eFile app exactly as they appear. Report whole numbers, excluding cents if they are included on your form for any reason.
