I received a 2021 W2 from a company that I left in 2020.

I wonder why I received a 2021 W2 from a company that I left in 2020.

I left the company in Jan 2020, and received a 2020 W2 in 2021, which is normal.

But this year (2022) again, I received a 2021 W2 (with some amount in box1) even though I didn't work for the company during 2021.

 

I sold all my RSUs and stocks of that company in 2021, but is that the reason that I have to receive W2 from that company? My RSUs I received from that company were vested in 2019. I think the taxes for any capital gain from those stocks are to be paid based on E-TRADE TAX documents. Why is my old company sending me W2? Should Include it in my 2021 tax return calculation?

 

Do you have any advice?
