Two w-2's/same company

I received two w-2's from same company,  but on w-2 they show different employer name,  EIN, control number. They both do show box 12a as the same. Do I file seperately as shown on W-2 and do I put same 12a on both as shown? Thank you lots!

The company you worked for changed their business identity during the year behind the scenes so you have 2 w2 forms with different EIN's and the wages should be for the part of the year you worked for each company "old" and "new". You do enter each form. 

 

The 12a concerns me. Is this a coincidence that it is the same on each w2 or did they add it all together on both? You should verify with the company what is correct before filing, unless you already know the answer.

 

Code AUncollected social security or RRTA tax on tips.

Show the employee social security or Railroad Retirement Tax Act (RRTA) tax on all of the employee's tips that you could not collect because the employee did not have enough funds from which to deduct it. Do not include this amount in box 4.

It's the same company,  but it changed location (they have several locations). I'm not sure if I would put 12a on just one or both.

In case this helps... it shows in 12a "DD"

The details are printed here for your convenience, in your other question and can be reviewed in the FAQ below.

 

 Box 12 amounts with the code DD signify the total cost of what you and your employer paid for your employer-sponsored health coverage plan.

  • Code DD amounts are for informational purposes only—they don't affect the numbers in your tax return.

Nevertheless, you should enter the Code DD and the amount of your employer-sponsored health coverage plan if you see it on each of your W-2s.
