I got two W-2 forms from same employer, with different exemptions under my employee w4 profile because I changed it during the year. Do I combine the two forms?

My employer had me claiming 6 federal and 2 state exemptions which I changed to 0 and 1. Total wages are only different by $10 but first one had NO fed.tax withheld.

Do both W-2s cover the whole year? That is, is the amount in box 1 your annual salary (even if off by $10)? If so, is the box for "Corrected" checked at the top of one of the W-2s? If so, use the W-2 marked "Corrected" and mark the other as not used and stick it in your tax record file - you won't be using it.

If the sum of the two box 1s, when added together, add up to your annual salary, then it is possible that your company issued you two W-2, one each for part of the year. If this is the case, then enter both of them in TurboTax.

You may have to contact your HR department if neither case makes sense to you.
