What you need is a Corrected Form W-2. Have you attempted to get a W-2c from the company that was handling the payroll? Unless you report the W-2 exactly the way it is filled out, it won't match what was transmitted to the IRS. Another option would be to go ahead and file, attempt to obtain a corrected W-2. If you do get a W-2c, you file a very simple amended return due to the W-2c. If you don't get a corrected W-2 you file an amended return with changes that result in your getting your full refund. All amended returns are processed by a person, even if e-filed, so it won't result in an automatic change like it will if you don't report the W-2 correctly.
