Then you have to ask the employer for a W2 or another copy.   Or find out why there’s no W2.   Maybe it’s posted on the employer website to download a copy.   Did they take any Social Security and Medicare taxes out of their pay?  

You don't need to go back and amend prior year returns as long as the loss carryovers are not affected, as they would not likely be. If it was a single-member LLC wherein you reported the income and expenses on your personal tax return schedule E, you can just eliminate the LLC federal ID number on the Schedule E and continue reporting things as you were. If you filed a partnership return you need to mark the last return "final" and enter the rental assets on your Schedule E rental. To do that, indicate that the rental started on the start date listed on the Form 1065 and enter the assets using their dates put into service.    

It was a 1099-R problem for me as well, despite the error claiming it was with the W-2 information. Try adding three zeroes to the beginning of your 1099-R State Number (box 15) to see if that fixes it.

What you haven't addressed is that the identical question boxes checked on the two forms show opposite answers.  Since this issue has not been addressed, I am filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.  In addition I can file a claim in Conciliation Court which I have done in the past to resolve issues.

I realize this post is a year old — but I wanted to come and post here for anyone else who stumbles across it. I, too, was burned by an "almost audit" from a two-year-old return. Fortunately, I was in the right and was able to resolve my situation prior to an audit.  The folks at Tax Audit asked me, "why I stopped purchasing the lifetime option of Tax Audit Protection." That's how I found out things had changed.  I learned you can buy the service directly from Tax Audit for no additional charge, and you are covered for the legal audit limit, not a useless one-year period. I am sure TurboTax justifies this as a convenience. But if they are going to shorten the window, the service should cost less. Or, an option for a longer coverage period should be clearer; the New limitation should not be buried in the fine print.  I am not sure about posting links here, so I will just say: go directly to TaxAudit.com and follow the prompts.
