Incorrect SSN - corrected w2

Hello, 

 

My employer entered my SSN number wrong on my w2.  I reached out and they sent me a w2c Corrected Wage and Tax Statement.  On the W2c, there are no "amounts" in any of the boxes. Every box is blank aside from boxes a through i - employer information and my personal information.  

I reached out again to our HR, and they told me I would just file with both my w2 and my w2c.  IS that correct?

 

Thank you

Incorrect SSN - corrected w2

No. You do not enter both forms W-2 and W-2c on your tax return.

 

Form w-2c only lists the boxes which are corrected.

 

As this form W-2c is only to correct your SSN, you just enter the numbers as shown on the form W-2 and enter the correct SSN.

 

After you have entered your W-2 form, continue the TurboTax interview. When you get to the page Let's check for uncommon situations, put a check mark on W-2 was corrected by my employer (Form W-2c).

 

See attached screenshot.
