Also question is, why would you get 2 w2s from same employer?
If your W-2s have a different Employer Identification Number (EIN) in box b, enter each one separately. You might get more than one W-2 if you work for an employment agency or your company changed ownership or payroll providers. If your W-2s are identical down to the last number and letter, just enter one of them.
Similarly, do I have to file both of my w2 at the same time? Every W-2 that you received must be reported on your tax return, even if they are for small amounts. Remember that each one of those W-2's has your Social Security number on it, and that income was reported to the IRS by the employer. ALL of your W-2's must be entered on the SAME tax return.
Hereof, how do I handle multiple W 2s from the same employer?
If your W-2s are identical down to the last number and letter, you can either keep the duplicate with your tax records or securely destroy it. Don't enter them both. Otherwise, if each W-2 has different Box 1 amounts which more or less add up to your yearly earnings at that job, enter each W-2 separately.
Can you have multiple w2 jobs?
If you work for one employer during the year, in most cases, you'll only have one W-2 form to account for. However, if you work for multiple employers at the same time, or for different employers at various times throughout the year, you may have multiple W-2s, all of which must be included when filing your taxes.
