Hello, My w2 is incorrect. The gross income listed is significantly less than what I earned in 2018. It’s too late for my employer to fix so Im not sure what to do.

If your employer can't issue a corrected W-2 in time to file, you have two options:

  1. Apply for an extension and file when you get the corrected W-2.  [Keep in mind that the extension is only an extension of the time for filing, not for paying taxes.]
  2. File now with the W-2 you have and then file an amended return when you receive the corrected W-2.  [You might not want to spend any refund in case you end up owing taxes with the new corrected W-2.]
