Retirement tax questions
Your employer might have withheld federal taxes from your paycheck but sent you an incorrect W-2.
Per IRS:
If your W-2 is incorrect
Ask your employer to correct the error. If your employer doesn't correct it by the end of February, you should either:
- Call us at 800-829-1040
- Make an appointment at an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center
We'll send your employer a letter asking them to give you a corrected W-2 within 10 days.
We'll also send you instructions for Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2. You can use it to estimate your earnings.
