Incorrect First Name on W-2

So I was about to start filing my taxes when I realized one of my employers put my last name as my first name on my W2. So it reads "lastname middlename lastname". Can I file with my W2 like this or what steps do I need to take to get this fixed?

It will be okay. The IRS will match the name and Social Security number on your return with the information at the IRS. As long as your correct social is on your W-2, information will match.
