From the IRS perspective, they do not know:
- whether you or someone else made up the W-2 that was submitted,
- whether the employer has properly and promptly reported income and remitted taxes, or
- whether they lost your employers paperwork.
I had a employer payroll matter of only a few hundred dollars that took three years to be resolved.
Please hang on to copies of W-2's, pay stubs, payroll deposits on bank statements, anything to prove your side of the story.
Unfortunately, the IRS will likely take their time sorting things out.
