It’s asking for my W-2’s. I’ve already entered the one from Nevada, it’s asking for my other one but it’s from California. Should I enter it anyways?

Every 2019 W-2 that you received must be reported on your 2019 tax return, even if they are for small amounts. Remember that each one of those W-2’s has your Social Security number on it, and that income was reported to the IRS by the employer. You do not want to get in trouble with the IRS for under-reporting your income.

ALL of your W-2’s must be entered on the SAME tax return. After you enter the first one, you click Add Another W-2.

you only file one federal return on which you report all your income(all w-2's and any other income). you didn't state why you got a w-2 from 2 states. It's important. you could be a part-year resident of both. if a part year resident of both, you would file a part-year resident return for Ca (540NR) reporting only the Ca w-2 income. Nevada doesn't have an income tax so there's no return to file there.

if you are a full year resident of Ca you would file a resident return reporting all your income

if you are a full year resident of Ne, you would file a part-year/non-resident return for Ca reporting only Ca w-2 income form 540NR
