My w2 didn’t have my ssn

Hi, I’ve already filed my taxes but I just noticed that my w2 didn’t have my SSN, and it has been over 21 days and still no refund, what should I do?

You can contact your employer for an updated W-2.

It can take anywhere from a few days to 3 weeks to update and show the status. The 21 days is just an estimated time frame. The IRS began processing returns on 2/12, you may not find a record of it or the website may say that you have put in incorrect information when tracking your federal refund. As your return moves through the system, its status will be updated.

Since Turbo Tax will not have the status of your refund, continue checking the Where’s My Federal Refund tool for updates. Updates are made daily, usually overnight.

What does pending mean?

thanks for your answer, I have one more question, when I get my w2-C, do you think I have to amend my taxes? Or no?
