Adjusted W2 deadline

I just received an adjusted 2022 w2 from a former employer. Is there a filing deadline I should comply by?

It depends on what was changed on the corrected W-2 you received for tax year 2022. You will have to file an amended 2022 tax return if the wages and/federal taxes withheld were changed, box 1 and box 2.

If the Social Security wages, Social Security taxes were changed or the Medicare wages or Medicare taxes were changed there is no need to file an amended return. Provided that the total of all Social Security taxes withheld from all income did not exceed $9,114.00

You can file an amended return at any time. However, if the amended return has a tax refund then you must file the amended return within 3 years from the due date of the original tax return.

Hello, thanks for joining us today!

If you receive a corrected Form W-2 after you filed your return, and the information differs from the information reported on your return, you must amend your return by filing Form 1040-X as soon as possible. The correction might mean you are entitled to a higher refund, but if there is a tax due, you would want to file and pay the tax due as soon as possible to avoid any interest and penalties.
