Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Your employer should be able to provide where the figure in other pre-tax wages came from.  You will want to verify with them that the information is accurate. 

 

If it is determined that there is an error on the W-2, the employer will be required to provide a correct W-2.  If your employer refuses to give a corrected W-2 when you have proof the W-2 is incorrect, you can follow these steps provided by the IRS.

 

"If by the end of February, your Form W-2, Wage, and Tax Statement has not been corrected by your employer after you attempted to have your employer or payer issue a corrected form, you can request that an IRS representative initiate a Form W-2 complaint. Call the IRS toll free at 800-829-1040 or make an appointment to visit an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center (TAC). 

It is essential you can show the W-2 needs to be corrected and that you have attempted to work with the employer to get the W-2 fixed and received no help.
