Thank you for your help! I was wondering how to amend my return if the university said they cannot issue a corrected W2 and whether that would be a problem with amending the 8959? Due to an administrative issue, half of my W2 wages show up in Boxes 5-6 and were subjected to medicare tax. This was an error though and I should have been fully exempt, but the university said they cannot refund me that tax money and cannot issue a corrected W2. They did give me a letter of support that I could use. So to claim the 8959 adjustment by filing an amended 1040X, would I just explain what happened and say that had the W2 been done properly, there would not have been an amount that got factored into the 8959 and that is the amount I am seeking to amend, but that I cannot get an official corrected W2? Or how should I proceed?
