W-2, Third party sick pay, duplicate forms

Hi, my wife received two W-2 forms from Prudential Insurance. Both of them with no amount in box 1; both of them filled in box 12 with code J and each form with different amounts; box 13 checked as Third party sick pay. Except amount in column 12 both forms are identical.

When I enter both of W-2 forms in TurboTax software I got massage to delete one of them since I'm creating duplicate W-2. I called Prudential to asked why they sent 2 forms and was told they needed to create both forms because one of them was for Short term disability and the other form was for Long term disability and they advised me to talk to accountant.

My question is if anyone knows what to do in case like this one. Do I need to report it or not since there is no amount in box 1. Or should I combine amounts from both forms in column 12 and submit only one of them since software is not allow me to submit both forms? Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank you
