which W2 to mail for state tax return?

[KXBG4746]

I am a part year resident of 2 states and received two W2 forms from 1 employer. 1 of them with nothing filled out but only the state wages and withholding on box 15, 16 and 17. Can I only mail this W2 form without any information about my federal wages and withholding with my state tax return? Or do I have to mail both W2 forms since the other W2 for the other state with all the boxes filled out.

You can make one W2 entry in TurboTax and add the additional state information in Boxes 15-16-17.

Thanks for reply. I don't have problem for W2 forms entry in turbo tax. I just don't know if I need to mail both W2 forms to each state especially when 1 of them only shows state wages and withholding, nothing else.

Yes, you can include a W-2 that does not have any federal information with your state return. States want the W-2 that includes state wages and state withholding so they can cross-check that against your tax return if they haven't processed the W-2 sent by your employer.

Just make sure you send the right W-2 to the right state.
