I got a W2 from an employer with whom I did just a little bit of work in 2022.
I think the W2 has errors:
Box 1 (Wages, tips) 202.00
Box 2 (Federal income tax withheld) 143.65
Box 3 (Social security wages) 688.00
Box 4 (Social security tax withheld) 42.60
Box 5 (Medicare wages and tips) 688.00
Box 6 (Medicare tax withheld) 9.99
Box 17 (State income tax) 17.55
I didn't get health insurance of allocate any money in a 401k or anything with this tiny side job.
How can box 1 be only $202.00 when Box 3 is $688.00 ?
I already contacted the employer and feel they're not going to do much to fix it. I will keep trying for a few days on that. But I think I'm supposed to report this discrepancy to IRS, right?
Is there any reason why this W2 should have this discrepancy!?
