How you would amend or if you have to amend would depend on what was changed using Form W-2C. If you received a Form W2-C and you need to amend your tax return, you can use the steps listed below.
Some corrected W-2 items do not require an amended return if they do not change your federal income tax, AGI, or total tax liability. These items can include the following:
- Some items in Box 14 that are changed do not require an amended return because they do not affect your tax liability;
- Changes made only to Social Security/Medicare wages do not need require an amended tax return;
- Name changes or other minor changes that do not affect your tax liability do not require an amended return.
If you are unsure whether your changes require an amendment, you can come back and provide more details and we can help you further.
If you have to amend your tax return first, you must wait until your original tax return is fully processed and you have received your refund before preparing and e-filing your amended tax return.
When amending for a corrected Form W-2 you will only change the numbers that were changed from your original W-2. You can compare the two to see the items that changed.
