Is it possible to fix an inaccurate income number?

[msweeney1198]

As a student in 2021, who worked only partially throughout the year, my income has somehow been tallied to almost XXX,XXX which is impossible. There's no sense behind this as there's no number this high listed on my income/wages section nor have I received any public help. Is this something I can change if I print out and mail?

No, if your income is reported to you on a W-2 and the information is incorrect you will have to contact your employer and ask for a corrected copy.  The IRS will match the information on your tax return to what your employer provided to the IRS.  If there is a mismatch in data then the IRS will take action to resolve the difference.
