How do i file taxes if i worked in 2 locations in 2018 . I did not change the employer . I have the W2s as well . Please advice.?

What does two locations mean? Two cities? Two states?  What's the issue?  Which city or state to pay? Deductions for travel (They're no longer allowed)?

I worked in 2 states OH and NJ six months a part staying with same employer. I have a W2 which mentions 2 states tax in 2 pages . Do i need to attach 2 W2s or same W2 will work .?

What is/was you stat of residence? Did you also change residence state when you changed work location.  You attach all copies of your W-2s with both state returns. Assuming you changed residence, you file as a part year resident of both states.

Since you worked in two states for the same employer, you will only enter your W-2 one time.

The Federal portion will show the income that you earned throughout the whole year.  Then, in the state section starting with Box 15, you will have two lines of information.  One line will report your income shown for OH and the other line will show your income for NJ.

You received two paper W-2 forms because the form is not made to report more than one state at a time.
