After you file

When the W-2 income is in question that means they have not been able to match what you entered with the W-2 that was sent by the employer.  Due to the new rules if the income cannot be verified the return is stopped until such a time as it can be confirmed.  If your employer mailed in the W-2 & W-3 forms that could be the delay.  The IRS may ask you to mail in the form directly to them ... watch your mail box for a letter.  Look at your W-2 form ... is your SS# correct on it ?  

 

A client of mine last year had this happen ... long story short the employer mailed in the forms and the data input operator at SS failed to enter her information in the system ( of the 9 employees only hers was missing) and it took 5 months to get this mess corrected ... hopefully yours will go smoother.
