California Reject Code: FW2-010: Form W-2, Line 1 [WagesAmt] must be present and greater than zero, unless Employers Use Code [EmployersUseCd] is only equal to 'Q'.
California reject code FW2-010 can occur when the state wages do not pull over to the California return or the state has been entered on a W-2 but no wages or tax have been entered.
To correct this reject, you will be removing the California return from e-file, then marking it again for e-file, but before doing that it's a good idea to verify that the state information on all Federal W-2's is complete and correct. Do that in the federal return, then reopen the California return and from the California Tax Return Menu select:
- Electronic Information Menu - Before proceeding to the next step, take note of the whether or not bank information has been entered.
- Remove CA Electronic Files - Answer YES to the question to confirm removal.
- Electronic Information Menu - Select and answer YES to the question to confirm electronic filing. Be sure to enter bank information if it was previously there.
When transmitting the California return, be sure it to select the "State-only" check box in the transmission table.
