@Mike9241 Thank you for your response. I have wondered about this myself (regarding the W-2 having not been sent to SSA). The potentially problematic W-2 did not arrive to me until Feb 2022. Additionally, it was not a W-2 from an employer, but rather a 3rd party my employer hired to pay my salary (short-term disability) while I was out on a 6-week medical leave due to a surgery. The income from this W-2 is missing from my wage transcript... does this confirm that the 3rd party never sent the W-2 to SSA?
Regarding your other question... when I submitted the amended return, I did so electronically, so no additional documentation was sent; however, after I received the 1st IRS letter, I responded with a letter that included all of the supporting documentation (including my W-2s). Then, I received a 2nd IRS letter with essentially the same response.
Based on this info, what is the next best step: submitting another amended return by mail (with the W-2s), calling the 3rd party, calling the IRS, or other (I had even considered making an 'in person' appointment at a local IRS office)?
