Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Use your W-2.
It should not be an issue. I assume the IRS does not have their copy of your W-2 yet.
The IRS may not have received or inputted the information from their copy of your W-2 and may have listed the information they received from the Social Security Administration. The income the SSA reports to the IRS could be different or just not yet up-to-date.
If the IRS is just waiting for their W-2, they will update your wage on your transcript when they get their copy.
If you are unsure, you can ask your employer if they had to issue a Corrected W-2 (W-2C) but I would assume the IRS just is not fully updated.
