Hello All,
I'm in the process of filing taxes but ran into an issue. My employer was bought by another company half-way through the year, which means I have three W-2's. One from the original company and two from the new company. I also work in a different state than I live and these two states have a reciprocity agreement.
The issue is with the new company, as they have sent two W-2s (page 1 and 2). Everything is the same on page 1 and 2 from box 'a-f' and box '1-14.' But on page 1 it shows "total state" in box '15' and a state income tax amount in 17. Page 2 shows the ordinary information you usually would see with a different state income tax amount.
How would I go about entering this on the Turbotax online wizard? This is the information I saw from another post I came across but again, in my instance box 15 has "total state."
"If your federal wage info in boxes 1–14 is the same (or blank on one W-2), and the state info in boxes 15–17 (or local info in boxes 18–20) is different, you’ll enter both on the same W-2 screen. Enter all the info from the most complete W-2, then enter the different state and local info from the other W-2.
If the only difference is box 12, enter all the info from the most complete W-2, then enter the different box 12 info from the other W-2 on the same screen."
Thanks!
