on my w2 they misspelled my name, so i asked for them to fix it, and they finally sent me another one, and i was wondering how to enter it

If you have received the corrected W-2 after you have filed, you will have to amend your return. If you have not filed you can enter the W-2(c) like a  normal W-2 with no worries as the employer has to furnish the IRS with a copy.

Note: You would not file both forms, only the corrected one.
