What do I do if my employer refuses to supply a corrected W-2

[kiba1031]

I lived in three states last year.  When I moved, I filed the correct tax information, and the taxes are correct for the state I moved to, but the company I work for was reporting income back to the state I originally lived in, while not paying taxes on those earnings.  I have notified my company of the error, and I was informed that they would not be issuing a corrected W-2.  What are my options at this point?

Look at this article at the IRS website on uncorrected W-2s.

While this appears to be a state issue in your case, the IRS may be able to take the lead since it affects multiple states (over-reported in some, under-reported in others).

Hi Kiba,

How did you fix the issue? I have exact problem. Did you contact IRS?

@jojo221 You posted your question in a thread that is years old.   You are unlikely to receive a reply from the original poster to this thread.

If you have a question of your own, please ask your own specific question.   It seems like you must have some sort of issue regarding your W-2----but from what tax year?   It is too early to get a W-2 for tax year 2022;  what tax year do you have a problem with?

This is for my 2021 W-2. I recently received a tax notification saying I owe tax to IL. My job location was in OK but I worked remotely in IL for entire 2021. My employer reported my income from the company to both states on my W-2. Thus, I was double taxed. When I filed the state taxes, I filed as a residency of IL and put the tax amount to OK as "credit paid to another state" in IL's tax file. But now I was told based on the taxable income for IL on W-2, I cannot take the "credit to another state" and should pay the full amount. I contact my employer to explain that I lived in IL for entire 2021, so my state of residency is IL, and I pay tax to IL. As OK does not use the Convenience of Employer rule, I don’t owe tax to OK. Thus, the taxable income on W-2 for OK should be 0, and I only owe tax for IL. But they refuse to correct the W-2 because they claimed that my work location was OK and it was me chose to work in another state and they tax employees based on their job location on paper. What should I do? Contact IRS?
