I worked for the same company for many years and had a retirement plan. I never took an ira deduction as retirement plan box was always checked. I left in fall of 2019.Istarted with a new company in 2019 and worked into 2020 . this company had no retirement plan.
Recently I received a w2 from new company for work in 2020.."no x marked".Also received a w2 from old company as a residual check for work done in 2019."x marked," even though I no longer work for them.
I opened an ira in 2020.
My question is, what do I do about filling out my my tax return and irs...
I am taking ira deduction but irs will see erroneous box checked on w2.
Is there a special note etc.
thank you
