W-2 had a minor typo. Will there be any issues if I correct it?

Employer put the wrong initial in my name.

You don't need to correct this error.

Just report the W-2 on your tax return.

The IRS can identify you your name and SSN.

That should not be a problem. You can let the employer know to correct their records for next time.
