Payer entered wrong social security number on w2g. What do I do to correct this?

On my form W-2G (gambling winnings), the payer entered incorrect number for the winner's taxpayer i.d. number.  What should I do?

it's still taxable, and the wrong id # should not create a problem for you unless there is withholding.  then you must get a corrected one otherwise the IRS/state  will disallow the withholding .
