My W-2 didn’t have the correct social on there, how long after I receive the corrected W-2 can I file?

You wouldn't have to wait at all after you receive your corrected W-2, as long as you haven't filed yet.

[ashkararia]

I tried to file and it didn't allow me

[IsabellaG]

That's actually good news, because now you can file your return with the correct social on your W-2.

[ashkararia]

that's what I'm saying ive tried to file since I received the corrected form and its still not allowing me

[IsabellaG]

What message are you seeing?

[ashkararia]

its saying something isn't right asking me to check my social and box 1 amount

[IsabellaG]

On your W-2? Have you tried deleting that W-2 and entering it from scratch?

[ashkararia]

no but I hit skip import and enter manual should I start over?

[IsabellaG]

I would try deleting that and starting the W-2 over. Was your return rejected by the IRS, or did you not get that far?

[ashkararia]

I haven't gotten that far yet

[ashkararia]

should I continue and if I get denied then delete and start over?

[IsabellaG]

You could try that.
Are you talking about your EMPLOYER's EIN rather than your Social Security Number?

[ashkararia]

no it was my social that was incorrect

[IsabellaG]

Ok, thanks
