Two W2 From Same Employer IDs, but Different Owners and Addresses

My son works at a local dinner.  He happen to start his employment with one employer, but the business was apparently sold to another person.  He received one W2 from the first employer, and a second W2 from his new owner.  He was told that the amounts on the first W2 are for the work he did with the first employer, the amounts on the second W2 is for the work he did for the second employer.  The two W2s have the same Employer ID and Employer State ID, but the employer's address and zipcode are different.

 

How do I enter these into TurboTax?   One is not a "Corrected Copy" of the other, but two separate W2 from two different owners, yet the same employer ID and State ID.

You should be able to enter them normally as two separate W-2s. 

 

Two W-2s from the same employer should not cause problems.  I was able to get it to work in my program.
