This is common.

Just enter both W-2’s as though you had two jobs. As long as the totals are correct, it will make no difference. If you look at the Fed EI #’s they may be different on the two documents as sometimes companies use a third party payer and their information is on the W-2 as agent.

Had this happen when I switched from one branch to another. Just enter them both as if they were separate W2's. Be careful that Turbo Tax picks up everything from both W2's. One may have coded such thing as your 401k or HSA differently from the other.

I had one that classified my HSA contributions as employer rather then employee contributions.

Your employer is required to provide you with a W-2. Period. If the preparer they used to use doesn’t give you one it is still your employer’s responsibility to provide this.

If they don’t then contact the IRS, your state’s revenue agency, and Social Security. Your employer will soon discover the meaning of “tax lien” and they’ll comply with the law and their obligations to you.

Call the IRS Help Line. If you start today, someone may even answer the phone by April 15th.

Otherwise "Go pay a preparer". : )

Be sure to check that one isn't a "corrected version" which includes the totals for the other.

I'm going to be using TurboTax...

A friend used TurboTax for years but this year he plans to use the free return system on the IRS website. IIRC California (our home state) has a similar system.

I would guess that it depends on if both use the same employer ID numbers or not.
