I am using HR Block electronic filing and am wondering if I have to enter both W2's in the Income section on my federal return. I worked 5 weeks in NJ and the rest in NY, but for the same company, which accounts for the 2 W2's. Wages and Taxes are the same on both (boxes 1-6) and the only difference is boxes 15-19. On my NY W2 box 16 shows the same balance as box 1, but on the NJ W2 it shows the amount I earned there. My final pay statement shows the amount on the NY W2, which means that balance includes my NJ earnings. I don't know why they aren't separated?
I entered the info from both W2's in the Income section, but it doubled my actual income, so that's my problem. I assume I don't have to enter both. Should I only enter my NY W2 information, since that's where my home office is, my residence is, and where i work the majority of my time, and use the NJ W2 when calculating my State returns? Either that, or are my W2's incorrectly showing the same total earnings in box 1 on both?
