Incorrect Permanent address on W-2

rein333 — Sun, 09 Feb 2020 19:54:54 GMT

Hello,

My former employer sent me a W-2 and accidentally put my mailing address (which is located in a different state from where I actually live) as where I reside (box e/f). When I contacted them and asked if they could send me a revised W-2, they said I could just input my actual permanent address in it's place. I was wondering if you could clarify whether or not this advice is correct.

Thanks!

Jasmin

The address on your tax return and the address on your W-2 do not have to match. There is no need for a correction on the W-2.

Do I correct the address on my W-2 if it is incorrect?

No, do not correct the address on the W-2.
