Incorrect address on my W2G

butterflyrina · ‎January 16, 2024

My W2G form has my old address, payor used my old address in their system and also street name is spelt wrong for my old address. Do I need to get it corrected before I file my taxes? My w2g is from last year in April-2023

The address does not matter. People move all the time, so addresses on tax documents can often be incorrect. You have to make sure the address on your Form 1040 is the address you want the IRS to use if they need to mail you a letter or a check. The address on the W-2G is immaterial.
