W2-C form

[la46]

what is this? should I worry, it is telling me I won't get this form until later this year? I don't want to get amended? but I cant wait all year. what is the W-2C form? it is saying I deferred payments? but I never did.

Just ignore this message.  I this will not affect your overall tax return and won't prevent you from filing. Don't be surprised if you don't receive a W2C despite what the screen says.

Do several people get this notification? So I should go ahead and file my taxes? Should I follow up with my employer about this?

Go ahead and file your return.

And I won't get amended? Thank you, I am just worried.

Some customers were incorrectly getting a message that "...a W-2c is on the way."  Even if this is true, it doesn't prevent you from filing your return now.  The IRS won't audit you for that--your employer is responsible for withholding the correct amount of Social Security tax.

To ease you mind, you can review your W-2 and make sure that:

• Box 4 is at least 6.2% of box 3; and
• Box 4 is less than the maximum of $8,537.40.
