No, the IRS matches forms by Social Security numbers. The fact that your name and/or address if different on your W-2 should not be an issue, HOWEVER if the name you use for your tax return filing is not what the Social Security Administration has on file, your return may be rejected when you try to e-file. 

If you haven't updated your name with the Social Security Administration, you might be required to paper-file and mail your return this year.
