If your employer used the wrong SSN the employer has to correct that and issue a corrected W-2 (a W-2C) so that the correct information goes to the IRS and to Social Security ---this affects your future Social Security benefits as well as your income tax---so make sure the employer corrects it.

Did YOU use the right Social Security number on your own tax return that you filed?
