Company uses PEO, I have One Job and 2 W-2s with different EIN

I've looked up and down for this info, already paid for TurboTax, but I don't feel like it's correctly inputting my data as I review my mail-in return (not yet sent).

 

I have 2 W-2s and I have one job. The company uses a PEO. This is common - I understand that part. The PEO W-2 has everything EXCEPT boxes 14-20 filled in. The company I work for's W-2 has everything in boxes 14-17 and NOTHING in boxes 1-13. Both W-2s have different EIN numbers. If I enter my W-2 from my employer, with nothing in Box 1, I can't e-file and it the TurboTax software seems to not know what to do with it. Do I combine these W-2s or do I proceed with them as separate W-2s? I've found no answer to this.

You are correct, you can't enter a W-2 that is blank in Box 1.

 

If your federal wage info in boxes 1–14 is the same (or blank on one W-2), and the state info in boxes 15–17 (or local info in boxes 18–20) is different, you’ll enter both on the same W-2 screen. Enter all the info from the most complete W-2, then enter the different state and local info from the other W-2.

Thank you. So to be clear, the PEO W-2 has (example) EIN 123 and the company W-2 has (example) EIN 456. Even though they are different EIN, I enter both as if they were one W-2?

No, you will enter the EIN from the most complete W-2 only - so the PEO in your case.  Also only enter the payer information for the PEO.
