Confusing w2

[akumi1214]

Just trying to understand and get some info about my w2. I live in NJ but worked in NY. Employer sends two w2s. One that is mostly blank except for box 14, which lists the codes with NY as the state. Second w2 is mostly filled. But the difference with this one is that box 15 has just NJ as the employer. And no other state. Which I find strange since I worked in NY and my w2 from last year has NY as the state in box 15. Would anyone know why this is? Should I ask my employer about this before filling? Or can I just file normally like I did last year as a nonresident?

Your employer could have put both your NY and NJ wages and tax withheld on one W-2, but issued you two separate W-2s instead.

You can combine them into one entry in TurboTax (since it's the same employer).  

Make sure you enter the Amounts that appear for both NY and NJ Wages  (may be the same amount if you worked all year in NY) and the amount of State Taxes withheld for either (or both) states. 

You will still need to file a Non-Resident Return for New York, since your income was earned there, and a Resident Return for New Jersey, since you live there.
