Question

A single payroll company was used by 2 of my employers (different companies) last year. I received only one W2 that has two different amounts in box 15 so I cant e-file.

You can have two different amounts in Box 15 and Efile. Some people have their income taxed by two different states. 

 

However, if you had two different employers, they would have two different Federal Identification Numbers and you should have received two W-2's, unless one company was taken over (or changed names).

 

One of the entries could be a special state tax that should be reported in Box 14. If your W-2 doesn't show state wages in the second line, don't enter it.
