Well----if the result of entering a correct W-2 was that you owe a lot to the IRS-- and you do not see any federal tax withheld in box 2 of your W-2, I would reconsider what the payroll office is telling you and ask them to start withholding more so that you can avoid this next year at tax time. Or---start making estimated quarterly payments to the IRS yourself to avoid owing next April. When you print out your 2022 tax return it may print out some 1040ES vouchers that you can use to make quarterly estimated federal tax payments during the year. They are optional; but using them will help you to avoid a big tax bill next year and to avoid an underpayment penalty.
