Sometimes on Form W-2 the Social Security Wages (box 3) and Medicare Wages (box 5) are larger than the amount in box 1 (Wages) on Form W-2. You will notice when entering Form W-2 that boxes 3,4,5 and 6 auto fill. If you need to make changes to these boxes there are 2 ways to do so. First way is to click the bottom box in each section and make it match the W2 line by line. The second option is to enter the code and amount in box 12 (typically code D) and the software will then adjust those lines.
If you try to type in the "gray box" (calculated field) it will try to override the entry and cause a verify message.
