Sounds like the 2nd one is just to correct the first.   Just file the first W-2 and add the box 12 to it.

thanks for the reply.  i would agree but my employer uses Insperity for their payroll etc so i get a W2 from Insperity with their EIN and in addition this year i got a w2 from my employer with just this amount in 12a for HSA contribution and nothing on the W2. 

i have neve gotten it this way before

The only EIN on a W-2 should be the employers EIN reguardless of who they use for payroll.

 

Is the EIN the same on both W-2's?
