call your HR department and ask them how they calculated that figure

..or....look closely at the actual W-2 to see if a decimal point is supposed to be, or actually is in there

like perhaps : 1234.56 vs 123456 ?

I checked and the decimal point are correct.

Then it's more a matter of you going back to your HR, or Payroll dept to find out what happened, and what's going on with those numbers.
