While filing jointly with my wife this year, I noticed that her federal wages box was empty. I didn’t think anything of it at the time but after filing she stated that she’s getting 3.9% taking out amd now I’m worried that we just got screwed over. Is there any way to correct this?

Do you mean her W-2 has some blank boxes?  Which boxes are blank?   Does she have an amount in box 1?   Box 2?   If there is nothing in box 2, no federal tax was withheld--perhaps because she made a low amount or perhaps because of whatever she put on the W-4 for the employer.

IRS computers will adjust for incorrect W-2 values submitted by you.
