But paycheck was dated in January 2025 - my understanding is that W2s are issued on a cash basis, thus even though I worked in December, BECAUSE my paycheck was DATED and received in  January 2025, then no W2 for 2024 should have been issued.  Am I understanding the IRS website correctly on this point?

My question then goes back to, since a W2 was incorrectly issued when it shouldn't have been, what steps are taken to reverse the reporting of the social security and medicare to the government?
