Multiple W-2 due to lawsuit, one has 0 income.
I received a settlement for back wages as a result of a class-action lawsuit. Along with the check, I received 2 W-2 forms and a 1099-misc. One of the W-2s is from the same EIN (box b) and same State employer's ID number (box 16) as my current employer. The address lists a c/o of the settlement agency. This W-2 lists $0 wages, and only has an amount in box 14: "CA SDI .95 ". Since the amount of wages is 0, Turbo Tax says I cannot e-file. It also wants me to combine my W-2s, since the EIN is the same as the EIN from my employer; however, the address is different. Is it appropriate to just list an additional entry for box 14 on my regular employer's W-2?
The second W-2 received with the check shows the name of the lawsuit in the Employer's name and a completely different EIN, so I have no issues with that one or the 1099-misc.
Thanks in advance for any direction you can provide!
