My company was purchased and I now have two W-2's with one listing the name of my original employer and the other W-2 with a slightly different name but a different owner

My company was purchased and I now have two W-2's with one listing the name of my original employer and the other W-2 with a slightly different name but a different owner.  I work in the same place, doing the same thing but there is a new legal name and owner.  Does this qualify as "Got a new job" in Turbotax?  Do I need to do anything differently other than add another W-2 in Turbotax under my name?  To I need to change or input anything else for this situation?

Besides the Company name, I assume the EIN differs on both W2's. Enter both W2's. Other than that, there is nothing more to do regarding this. You do not need to select you got a new job. This is asked to determine whether credits or deductions would be related to changing employers/moving.
