Box 10 specifically states anything over the allotted amount will also be added to box 1. So that part is pretty standard.
So if i work for 1 company, and get 9000. 9000 is in box 10, and 4000 gets added to box 1 on the W2. That is standard procedure. So things being in both places is not only normal, but required. The issue only comes up because i have 2 W2 from 1 company. if they were 2 separate companies, i wouldnt have the issue.
