Hello,
Please see the answers below:
- I understand that you worked for 2 companies.
- Correct, I worked for 2 companies.
- I also understand they used the same tax service for payroll.
- Yes, both companies used the same PEO.
- You also stated that each W-2 had it own state ID number.
- There is just one W-2 for both companies as my de facto employer was PEO for the whole year.
- Were both Federal EINs different?
- Please see above. There is one W-2 for both companies.
- Did each W-2 show 2 lines of information?
- Please see above. The W-2 has two lines in Boxes 15-20. Refer to the screenshot.
- Was the same information for 15-17 on both lines of each W-2?
- Information is different. Each line represents one of the companies. My understanding is that the PEO tracks state income/taxes separately for each company.
- Did it include more than one state?
Thanks.
