Hi @madisenfaith!

Thank you for your question!  I'm so sorry that you're in that predicament!

 

Your situation is specifically addressed by the IRS on it's website:  "I received an incorrect Form W-2.  My former employer won't issue me a corrected Form W-2.  What should I do?"

 

In essence, you can request that the IRS initiate a Form W-2 complaint, and the IRS will send your employer a letter requesting that they give you a corrected Form W-2 within 10 days.  The link above has instructions on how to initiate the complaint (either call the IRS at 800-829-1040 or make an appointment to visit an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center).  The IRS will also suggest you file Form 4852 in the event you don't get the corrected W-2, which will allow you to file your tax return on time.

 

Given that there are only a few weeks left to timely file, I suggest you contact the IRS right away to start the W-2 complaint process.

 

I hope this helps and good luck!
