I have two W2 forms with incorrect social security numbers. I've requested W2c forms but they won't arrive before Apr 18. Turbotax won't let me submit the return. Help.

You can enter the W-2s with the correct Social Security number (yours) and go ahead and file. This could cause a problem (depending on how long it takes to get the W-2Cs) as the information on your return won't agree with what the IRS has on file for you. Another option, and perhaps a better one would be to file an extension and wait until you receive the corrected W-s. If you do the later, you and have tax due, you should pay your tax with your extension. See the following FAQ on how to file an extension with TurboTax:

David,

Thanks for the thorough answer and quick reply. Sounds like the best option would be to file for the extension. In my case where I don't owe taxes, there should be no penalty for the extension, correct?
