2 Page W2

Hello, I live in CT and worked a small amount in RI in 2024.  I received a W2 from the employer but it has 2 pages. They have the same income amount and state tax withheld but when looking at box 15 and the "Employer's state ID no." box on the first page it nothing in box 15 and then "TOTAL STATE" written in the next box and on page 2 it says "RI" in box 15 and has numbers for their "Employer's state ID no.". I don't want it to look like I made double the income by entering it as 2 W2s but am not sure if it would be wrong to just enter it as RI income.

If the EIN number in box b is the same and you work in more than 1 state or city, sometimes they will give you another W2 with the extra state information on it and the top part the same or not filled in.  If this is the case, list one W-2 but include both state or local  taxes on it.  It will let you type in more than one line for boxes 15-20.  Don't add the boxes together.
