The following diagnostic is generating:
Form W-2 #{PrefixNum}: A non-SSN taxpayer ID is present in the client information screen for the taxpayer. Per E-file specifications, the IRS requires the manual key entry of the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) as it appears on Form W-2 received from the employer for all taxpayers with Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) who are reporting wages. Please key in the ID number as it appears on the W-2 or check the TaxpayerID verified box if you have confirmed that the ID being used for the return matches the ID that appears on the W-2 document.
Solution:
- Click on the diagnostic from the Diagnostics tab or go to Screen 10 Wages>Electronic Filing (W-2)> Employee Infomration (If Different than Client Information) section.
- Use the (a) Social Security Number [O] to enter the Social Security Number from Box A of Form W-2, if different from the Social Security Number reported on the 1040 form. The entry is used for electronic filing purposes only.
- If you have verified that the SSN used on the return matches the taxpayer identification number listed on the W-2 form, check the Taxpayer’s ID Verified box in the Electronic Filing (W-2)>Employee Information (If Different than Client Information) section.
