    W-2 - wrong last name and address

    This is my first year for e-filing. Client's daughter has one W-2 and the last name is spelled wrong on the W-2. Also, the address is listed as the student's address at graduate school rather than her home address.

    Will either of these create an issue when I submit for e-filing?

    If so, what can I do now to avoid a problem prior to e-filing?

    I don't think it will be a problem

    I've had this issue in the past, but I think as long as the SSN is correct and the last name is not mangled too badly, it should be okay.

      Not a problem, since we keep copy of the W2 (if required), just so her name is like the one in SS files and the SSN is correct.
