Hi,
I filed my taxes today and found another W2 form from employer and the numbers totally different might be they change the system at their end generated 2 forms. but what should I do to get it correct on IRS?
Government already accepted the forms for the first time.
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
First thing you need to do is determine if the second W-2 is a corrected W-2, and if not, why you received both.
You need to speak with your company's payroll department to be clear.
If the second W-2 is a corrected W-2, you may need to amend your tax return for the corrections made on the second W-2.
If the second W-2 is an additional W-2, you'll also need to amend and ADD the second one.
Your original return may have been accepted, but the IRS gets a copy of all W-2's generated by all employers, so if you have two, the IRS has two copies as well.
You have 3 years from the date you filed your return (or 2 years after you paid the tax due, whichever is later) to file an amended return.
