Do you know for sure which number is correct? The first thing that needs to be done is verify the correct numbers. Are they able to give you a break down of your pay, do you have all of your past pay stubs available? Was there a possible error on a paystub?
If you can verify that YOU are correct and they are not, you would need to contact the IRS to see if they can get it straightened out. If they cannot, then you will need to file form 4582 to report the correct amount.
The most important next step, before doing anything else with the IRS or filing your return, is to verify which numbers are accurate especially since there is such a large difference in your tax outcomes.
