Two W-2s

I received 2 W-2s from my employer.  The only reason for the second one is because they ran out of boxes in line 12.  The EIN is the same in both.  My problem is that the second one only has a Line 12 item, nothing in the other lines. Apparently if line 1 has less than $1 you cannot e-file.  Because of this I am unable to e-file.  Since this is just a matter of running out of space can I combine the two into one?

Two W-2s

Yes, you are supposed to combine them. Enter it as if it's one W-2 with 5 (or more) entries in box 12. Delete the second W-2 that you entered.

 

Two W-2s

If the EIN number is the same and you work in more than 1 state or city, sometimes they will give you another W2 with the extra state information on it and the top part the same or not filled in.  If this is the case, list one W-2 but include both state or local  taxes on it.  It will let you type in more than one line for boxes 15-20.  Don't add the boxes together.  

 

Same for boxes 12 & 14 if there is no room on the first W2 they can give you another W2 with the extra boxes on it.  So list them all on 1 W2.  For box 12 just enter it in the next row or box.  It doesn't have to match the box 12a-d etc.
