How can I automatically post wages entered in box 1 on Form W2 to box 16?
Account Ability automatically posts wages entered in box 1 to box 16 (State #1) for states in which wages are specified as taxable.

Changes made to box 1 will now be posted to box 16 for the states you entered. NOTE: This feature is not applicable when importing.
