Should I change my W2 if the address is incorrect. I live in Florida but it lists me as a resident of California?

If wrong state is on W2 can I change it or do I need to get a new W2?

No, you shouldn't change the W-2 yourself. If the state is wrong, you need to ask your employer for a corrected W-2.

 

Florida has no state income tax, so if CA wages/taxes are listed incorrectly, you may need to file a CA nonresident return to get a refund of any taxes paid if it’s not fixed.
