W2 for third party sick pay

I received two w2 for third party sick pay from the same company for two different claims.  I entered both but when I run smart check it keeps considering them as duplicates and wanting me to delete one?  It’s been an endless loop.

W2 for third party sick pay

If you received two W-2 forms for third-party sick pay from the same company and they have the same EIN, TurboTax might flag them as duplicates. To resolve this:

  • Same EIN: If both W-2 forms have the same Employer Identification Number (EIN), combine the amounts into one W-2. This helps avoid errors in TurboTax.
  • State and Local Taxes:
    • Boxes 15-20: If you worked in multiple states or localities, enter all state and local taxes on one W-2. TurboTax allows you to use multiple lines for these boxes, so you don't need to add the amounts together. Just list each state and locality separately.
  • Boxes 12 and 14:
    • Box 12: If you have multiple entries for Box 12 (such as retirement plan contributions or other deductions), enter each one in a separate row. TurboTax lets you add more rows if needed.
    • Box 14: Similarly, for Box 14 (which might include other deductions or benefits), list each entry separately on one W-2. Use additional rows if there isn't enough space.

Different Box 1 Wages: If the wages in Box 1 are different on the two W-2 forms, you should contact your employer for clarification. This could indicate an error or a need for further explanation.
