2 W2 from different employers

[user17735932028]

2 W2 from different employers. However my 2nd W2 has 2 pages. The first page in box 18-20, information is missing from 18 and box 20 say “TOTAL”. Second page box 18 is filled, box 19 has a different figure from the first page and box has my locality state. What figure am I using on my tax return?

For your first W-2, you can report it normally. Make sure that all of the information entered matches the boxes exactly as shown.

 If your boxes 18-20 (local wages, tax, and locality) on your W-2 are blank, this generally means no local income taxes were withheld, which can happen if your employer is in a different taxing jurisdiction. You can check your final paystub to determine if local tax was actually withheld. If it was, you should contact your employer for a corrected W-2.

For the 2nd W-2, you should enter the specific local wage (Box 18) and local tax (Box 19) amounts for each locality listed on the itemized locality pages. Only enter the lines for the specific localities. Don't enter the page that is called Total.  This can cause you to overstate your taxes.
