You should request a corrected W-2. Additionally, you may need to explain to your employer why you feel your withholding has been understated and therefore, you will need your pay stubs or other records to show your employer.
Also, below is information obtained from the IRS website and addressing the issue of an incorrect W-2.
"Question:
I received an incorrect Form W-2. My former employer won’t issue me a corrected Form W-2. What should I do?
Answer:
If by the end of February, your Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement has not been corrected by your employer after you attempted to have your employer or payer issue a corrected form, you can request that an IRS representative initiate a Form W-2 complaint. Call the IRS toll free at 800-829-1040 or make an appointment to visit an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center (TAC).
Depending on the time of year, the IRS may have federal wage information in the form of a wage transcript. See Topic 159 for more information on how to get a transcript of W-2 information.
When you call the IRS or visit a TAC office, please have the following information available:
- Your employer's or payer's name and complete address including ZIP code, employer identification number if known (see your prior year's Form W-2 if you worked for the same employer), phone number, and
- Your name, address including ZIP code, social security number, phone number, and dates of employment."
