If I am still waiting on a corrected W2 from my employer, should I file an extension request, or just file my taxes with the current W2 and amend later?

My employer underreported my taxable income on my initial W2 I received. They are working on a corrected W2, but it is not complete yet.

It is up to you- but if you will owe money, you will want to make a payment with your extension.
