Got two W-2s, different work locations within the same company. How should I file?

Adinga — Sat, 01 Jun 2019 01:43:40 GMT

The employer IDs and federal wages are identical on both, but the state and local numbers are totally different. I'm guessing this is because the locations are in different cities. Do I just file both W-2s in full, or is there something special I should do?

Update: When I put both in, Turbotax now says I owe money and assumes that I made twice what I actually did because the federal income and tax numbers are identical on both.

Treat them as one W2 with some duplicate information. But be sure to fill in two separate lines box 15-20 to reflect the income and state tax withholding for each state.

Thank you! That makes a lot of sense.

The state is the same on both though, only the city is different. The state wages and tax on the 2nd W-2 are just blank. So should I only add a second row for boxes 18-20, or still for 15-20?

Only for 18-20. Just make sure your final W-2 entry includes all of the income and withholding, without duplication.

Agree, thanks Kat

Sorry to be picky, I just wanna make sure I'm clear so I don't have issues... Here's the information as it shows up on my W-2s, filed in separate rows (first row of each is 1st W-2, 2nd row of each is 2nd W-2).

<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://imgur.com/a/wcq5f">http://imgur.com/a/wcq5f</a>

You're saying just nix the 2nd row on boxes 15-17 altogether even though there's some information in box 15 & the employer state ID box?

Sorry for the confusion. Under the state box (Box 15), u...

Kat — Sat, 01 Jun 2019 01:43:53 GMT

Sorry for the confusion. Under the state box (Box 15), use OH and you can just total the OH withholding in Box 17. There won't be any need to enter those separately, since it's all been withheld and sent to the OH Department of Revenue from the same employer and employer ID. Only the portions that are different must be entered separately. So the two separate localities must be entered separately using Boxes 18-20, since those tax dollars were submitted to separate places. Does that make sense?

Kat — Sat, 01 Jun 2019 01:43:54 GMT

@Adinga I just noticed in your original post that you said "the state and local numbers are totally different". I can see that the local numbers would be different, but is the State ID # for the employer different? That number should be identical. Just checking.

Adinga — Sat, 01 Jun 2019 01:43:55 GMT

Yeah, that's why I used A in both boxes there, it's the same.

By different numbers I meant boxes 16 & 17 are blank on one and filled on the other.

I worked for the same company but in different states. Should the state income total the federal income?

Speak with payroll to determine how the income was reported.

If you have two W-2's from the same employer, but only one of them has amounts in box 1 through 6, enter it as one W-2 into TurboTax.

If you have two W-2's from the same employer and they DUPLICATE your income, only enter the income you earned. Contact Payroll and have them issue a corrected W-2 for one of the W-2's.

It changed from one locality to three (one was old work location, second was new buildings location, and I work from home so I guess my location is on there too?)

Enter them as one W-2, for federal and state income

Then enter city/locality information separately using each line for one city/locality .

aeh2020 — Sun, 13 Feb 2022 03:39:37 GMT

I did that... And it's still saying I owe taxes like it's wrong... That's the only thing that was new for my income this past year. Everything else is the same as last year (INT, HSA). Could it be my W2 is incorrect... The company modified the localities on their own I didn't touch anything. My original work location closed and the moved to a new building, and put me as flex (works from home but also works on location as needed).
