Client's son, a student that worked part time, received a W2 with the wrong ss# on it. The only way that I know of to get this corrected is for the employer to issue a corrected W2. Is there another way that I am missing?

Only in government or politics is a "cut in spending" really an increase. It's just not as much of an increase as they wanted it to be, therefore a "cut". -
the taxpayer
can write the correct number on the W-2 and mail the return. Then tell the employer so they can issue a W-2C to alert SSA to the corrections.AJ, EA -
that's the only way..
... that I know of...

Can file
a paper return with correct SS# written in on the W-2 included with return. Can e-file but employer will have to issue corrected W-2 Opps, sorry all this has been already said. I didn't read the other replies before sending my own.Last edited by spencer; 03-09-2010, 04:55 PM.Comment

Well, I dont know about that. IRS instructions say recipient can hand write correctOriginally posted by ESPENCER View Post
number on the W2 himself for filing purposes. Why, then, would this preclude efiling the return?
I've not seen any efiling instructions forbidding such.ChEAr$,

Harlan I think
that a hand corrected W2 needs to be labeled in the software as nonstandard. My understanding is that the refund on the e-filed return will be held up until summer when th IRS gets the corrected W2 in its system but that the paper return will be processed normally. I stand ready to be corrected if anyone knows better.Comment
