My company moved its physical location from the state of Missouri to Kansas last year.

My residence was in Missouri and I moved to Kansas shortly after the company moved as well.

As a result, I received 3 W-2s from the company with the same EIN. One for MO, and one for KS and another for K3 (not a mistake, it said K3).

My best bet is that due to tax breaks with Kansas, the company was issued a different state ID number for KS after their move.

When filing the tax return (using TaxAct), I filed it under one W2 entry with 2 KS state entries and 1 MO state entry.

TaxAct is flagging the KS entries as a possible duplicate. Since this is a unique but legitimate situation, should I submit my taxes this way, and since I can't possibly choose a nonexistent "K3" state from the drop-down box, should I submit my return this way?

Any guidance would be much appreciated!

Are the wages and withholding amounts reported on the KS and K3 W2's the same? If they are, then they would seem to be duplicates and you would include only one of them. The important thing is that the sum of the W2's that you report on your tax return should equal your actual wages and withholding for the year.

ebaines,

The wages and withholding amounts are totally different, and they sum up to the total actual wages for the year.

Then you need to incluide all three W2's with your return. The IRS really doesn't care how you enter the data into TaxAxt - all they care about is that the totals reported for wages and withholding are accurate. So enter the two Kansas W2's as "KS" and don't worry that there's no option for "K3." This will also make your part-year resident KS income tax return come out correctly.

ebaines,

Sorry! I spoke too soon, my brain isn't working this morning.

MO + K3 add up to the total wages. The KS W2 doesn't fit in at all.

Could it be that the KS W2 wages is part of the K3 wages, and I should just include the MO and K3 W2s?

That seesm logical, but I suggest you contact the payroll department and ask why they sent you two W2's for Kansas. Are you sure that one of them isn't marked as "corrected?"
