3 or more states on the W-2 form

If you have 3 or more States, you can still proceed with Sprintax following the steps below:

- You need to add 2 W-2 forms (if you had 3 or 4 states you worked in for example) or 3, 4 W-2 forms, depending on the number of states you worked in;

1st W-2 Form:

- Box 1 and 2 - Please fill the Federal wages (box 1) to be equal to the state wages (example below) and the taxes withheld (box 2) to be what you have on the W-2 form:

- Any other details like box 12/14 also filled for each state;

*The details are listed on each state's W-2 form.

- Box 15,16 - Fill the first two states (it doesn't really matter how you combine them).

2nd W-2 Form:

Box 1 and 2 - Please fill the Federal wages (box 1) to be equal to the state wages (example below) and the taxes withheld (box 2) to be 0 as you have already reported all taxes withheld on federal level on the previous page:

Fill only box 15 to 20 with the details for to third/fourth state.

Please make sure that once you reach Step 7 - Summary, your Federal wages must be the same amount you see on your W-2 form - box 1. If there is any difference, please contact us via our live chat so we can review your case.

N.B - You may have a difference in the federal wages only if you had a tax treaty applied (you'd see a separate line on the Summary, named "Income exempt by a tax treaty".
