W-2

I received a notification in TurboTax that a W-2 is ready to be imported from an employer I’ve never worked for. Should I be alarmed?

You should import the W-2 and see what it is.

I can’t import if I’ve already filed, correct? It’s a hair salon, I have never worked for a hair salon.

You're correct that you cannot import after you've filed.

The greater question is why are you getting a W-2?
Do you have enough information to contact the Hair Salon?
If so, I'd give them a call to see what is going on.
If it is a W-2, the IRS will have a copy, and be expecting it to be on your tax return.
It would be best to resolve it now.

If you determine that TurboTax has sent this to you in error please contact us at What to do if you suspect tax-related identity theft
