Filing 2 W2s, different localities?

My husband's company moved their business part way through the year. This resulted in two W2 forms. One has all of his wage information and the locality name for the old location, while the other only lists the local wages/tax and locality name of the new location. How do we file this? We were using an internet site to prepare our taxes, and I'm not sure if this would be an addition with his first W2, or needs to be filed as a separate W2.

    Enter the information into the tax program as if it were two different jobs. You will enter two separate W-2 pages, each with exactly the information printed on the separate W-2's your husband received. The tax program will automatically add them together later, when it fills out the IRS tax forms and calculates your total refund or amount due.

    Without knowing your income and tax bracket, it will be most likely to your advantage to go ahead and file them all together. First of all, no matter how many returns you file, the IRS will lump them all together and send you a bill for the difference, if any. You would be better off to file it in one return yourself, or an amended return if you have already filed. Income must be reported in the year earned so you can not hold the W-2's till next year. If you don't file all your income, the IRS knows how much you made and will refigure your tax and send you a bill. They know because they have a copy of the same W-2's you have.

    You always use the TOTAL of ALL your W-2s when you file your taxes for the year. It doesn't matter at all where the business's main offices were located.

    You file one tax return and include all W-2s on it, whether you have one or a hundred.
