My ssn on W2 was incorrect

My SSN on W2 was incorrect. My employer is attempting to correct my SSN on W2 but they said it will take 6 - 8 weeks from now. It will be overdue on tax day if I wait receiving revised W2.

Should I file it even though the incorrect SSN was on my W2 or wait to receive revised W2 and file tax as the overdue?

Yes, you can go ahead and file your tax return.

 

When you enter your W-2 in TurboTax, you don't need to enter your SSN.  In the W-2 section, choose 'I'll type it in myself'.

 

Enter your Employer Identification Number, their name, address, etc. 

 

TurboTax automatically fills in your correct SSN that you entered in the MY INFO section.

 

Just save the corrected W-2 for your records when you receive it.

 

Here's more info on How to Manually Enter a W-2.
