You have your own business? Are you sure you will get W2s and not 1099NEC? Why will you get lots of W2s? Only employees get a W2, not self employed persons. I don't think I've ever seen a max number of W2s you can enter.
If you are self-employed or are an "independent contractor" you are not going to receive W-2's. You will more likely get 1099NEC's from your clients. Only an employer issues a W-2 to you. If you are an independent contractor you do not have an employer--you have clients.
Have you performed any work for an employer who has been withholding federal and/or state tax, Social Security or Medicare from your wages?

AND...if you are a self-employed independent contractor, you may only get 1099-NEC forms from businesses you work for. IF you are working for (say) a homeowner for installations or repairs, you likely won't get 1099-NEC forms from them, and you need to keep your own accurate records of material costs vs $$ received.
They are W-2s, the question is there a limit to the number of W-2s that can be entered. It sounds like nobody really knows the answer; a lot of speculation.
Your own words---"I am in a business....." suggested that you are self-employed.
Your other thread:
True....we haven't had that situation for W-2 forms. Normally, a person would very rarely have more than 4 or 5 per spouse...more commonly maybe 2 or 3.
However
I do "seem" to recall there was an issue for a limit on multiple W-2G forms from gambling...For that one, I don't remember what the limit was, but I seem to recall the person had multiple W-2G forms from the same casino, and was advised that if the software wouldn't allow any more, that they could combine the ones from the same Casino, into one W-2G as long as the Casino's "issuer" Federal ID number was the same on each W-2G.
But we've never heard of anyone hitting a limit for W-2 forms...yet...You could be the first.
If you have many W-2s you can sum the data and enter it as one W-2.

In past years, there was a listing on the IRS web site of any forms limitations, but I can't find it this year.
