What you put on your return is not the issue ... the IRS says the S-corp failed to file the W-2 & W-3 to the IRS timely ... so are they correct ?   Did the business fail to file those forms ?  And the other payroll forms ?

You are receiving IRS letter CP215 because the IRS received Form 941 filed by the business, but did not receive copies of Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement given to employees.  As of result, the IRS charged your business a penalty for failure to file Form W-2.

you can try to get out of the penalties by writing a letter to the IRS explaining why you failed to file the forms and promise not to do so in the future.   the decision is entirely up to the IRS.
