You are supposed to enter any extra state amounts from that employer on the one main W-2 that was issued. Occasionally, W-2 forms are issued by employers in a way in which they can't put multiple state entries on the main W-2 form...but the multiple states they report for boxes 15,16,17 go into separate lines on the ONE W-2 in the software.....not on two separate W-2 forms.
Separate W-2 forms are only used for multiple employers....( and on occasion, it can happen for the same employer if the company was merged or bought out by another company....but then the main boxes 1-to-6 would be broken out separately into before-after merger amounts too)
