Get your taxes done using TurboTax

As ErnieS0 stated, you don't need the corrected W-2 to file the federal return. 

The federal return is not concerned with the state tax reported on your W-2. 

 

You have two options for state filing. 

 

File the non-resident New York return and indicate zero wages for New York. 

You should have the NY tax that was withheld refunded. 

 

Wait for the corrected W-2 and then file the non-resident NY return to obtain the refund. 

If there will be no New York tax owed, you will not get a late filing penalty if you miss the deadline to file. 

 

Although the state wages are listed as New York on your original W-2, you should be able to use that W-2, allocate Zero wages on your return, and receive the state tax that was withheld in error refunded. 

You DO NOT need to wait for the corrected W-2.
