If you didn't work there for all of 2023, you should contact your former employer and ask why you received this W2.

Did you ever figure it out? My sisters having the same thing happen does she file it or is it a risk

You have to report ALL of your income on your tax return.   But if the W-2 is not correct, she should contact the employer who issued it and find out why she received it.    The employer can correct it.   @Zone03
