State tax filing

A common reason for the state wages to be incorrect on a W-2 occurs when an employee moves to a different state but keeps the same employer.  That's because there's often a lag between the employee's actual move and the employer's payroll department updating the state withholding.  This is just one example of why the W-2 may not be accurate.
