Although this solution did work, combing the amounts and keeping the latest state tax id number, I'm dissatisfied with the software. Since TT flagged it as an error, it should've asked me if I receive two W-2's and which is the current tax id number. TT should then automatically add the numbers together and delete the other entry. After doing that, TT should advise the user what was done and why it was done. It's computer software, easy to complete the task. I am not a tax preparer and that's why I look to the guidance of TT. I shouldn't have to fret that my return would be rejected. As I said, I can't be the only one to come across this issue in the lifetime of TT. I have other gripes with TT but this is my biggest for this year.
