You want the FICA withholding to be properly credited to your Social Security account so that when you retire, you will get credit for it.

 

W-2's are sent to the SSA, not the IRS.   Employers do not send a W-2/W-2C by itself, they must use a 914, 943 or 944 form depending on the employer.    Those are employer forms, not employee forms.     I believe that if the employer has a certain number of employees then them must file those forms electronically that requires an employer account.   The employee cannot file those forms.
