I have a mistake in one of my W2’s it says I was married but I never was . Will this affect me filing my taxes online , will I get in trouble ?

Are you saying that when you completed the W-4 with your employer to determine the amount of withholding, that you accidentally entered "Married" instead of Single"?

If so, don't worry about it. The W-4 is used to determine your amount of withholding, and so long as adequate taxes are withheld, the IRS does not worry about your marital status on the W-4.

Yes I am saying there was a mistake on my W4 which led to my W2 being incorrect. My other W2s that I will be filing do not have these issues.
