What if my social security number is incorrect on my W-2 and my employer hasn't provided me with a W-2C form yet?

I haven't received a W-2C form yet. I was told by my previous employer that it was my responsibility to file a W-2C but I have found out that is incorrect. They are supposed to do it then send me a copy. I have been asking for one but they are in LA and I am in Sacramento so I don't know if I will get it in time. What can I do? It is close to the deadline so can I file this way but just use my correct social security number then wait for a W-2C and submit that later? Or what options do I have?

you have the option to file a request for automatic extension of time to file.

you also have the option to inform the IRS that your employer is not cooperating. IRS will contact them. visit www.irs.gov for details.
