We moved, now my husband has two different Box 18-20 values
I downloaded my husband's W-2 into TurboTax and was surprised when it later said there was an error I needed to fix. He has two different sets of values for boxes 18-20. We moved in May from one locality to another within the same state, and his employer apparently separated out the amounts going to each local district and gave him different W-2s for each. This is nice in that it saves me some math when I file both sets of local taxes this year, but for federal purposes, TurboTax is apparently unhappy with it and wants me to delete one of them. Do I add the values together to reflect his full-year totals? Do I just pick one? I don't have a single combined version - of all eight copies, all show either the income in one district, the other district, or boxes 18-19 are empty and 20 contains "TOTAL CITY." We're taking the standard deduction, so I'm not sure if these totals are really essential for federal purposes. Thanks in advance!
