I left my job from 2019 W-2 and worked another job most of the year but came back to my 2019 job for a while, do I say I continued to work at the 2019 job?

You do not need to go into any of the story of leaving the job and returning to the job. All you need to do is enter the W-2 you get from the employer. The W-2 will be for the whole tax year---it is not broken down by which months you worked there.
If you worked for that employer at all in 2020 you will get a 2020 W-2 from the employer.
Every 2020 W-2 that you received must be reported on your 2020 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.
Go to Federal>Wages & Income to enter a W-2.
After you enter the first one, you click Add Another W-2.
W-2's come from your employer, and they have until February 1 to issue it. Some employers allow you to import the W-2 through the software, but for security reasons you still need information from the actual W-2 to import it. You might need to phone, drop in, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.

And….SAVE YOUR OWN W-2! TURBOTAX DOES NOT SAVE IT FOR YOU. TurboTax will not have a copy of it in your account and will not have an image even if you snapped a photo. It is up to you to save it for your own records as stated on the back of the W-2.
