Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If your employer issued two W-2s, the important thing is the wages in box 1.  If they are the same, it will be obvious that there is a mistake on the employer side.  You can enter only the correct W-2, in this case.  The IRS will look at the newer one.  The employer should correct it but keep in mind, corrected W-2s are a high audit item.  If they didn't correct it specifically, just go by the W-2 that you know is correct.  If the wages are not the same in box 1, then you DO need to ask the employer for a formally corrected W-2.
