Change to W2 and filing

If your W-2 was corrected, it is best to wait until you receive it before filing your tax return. Can you ask your employer for a copy of the corrected W-2? 

 

If you have not received the corrected W-2, the IRS offers guidance in this article:

If you don’t get a W-2 or your W-2 is wrong 

 

When you say that you want to report the corrected W-2 on Form 1040-ES, I assume you mean Form 1040 instead. Here is the difference between Form 1040 and Form 1040-ES:

 

Form 1040 is used to file your tax return for a specific tax year. It's how you report your total income, claim deductions and credits, and figure your final tax liability. Any W-2s you receive would be reported on Form 1040.

 

Form 1040-ES is used to calculate and make quarterly estimated tax payments. A W-2 would not be reported on Form 1040-ES.

 

Here is an article that discusses Form 1040-ES in greater detail:
