W2 has married name. SS has maiden name

[ycs770]

Hi

My wife got W2 from her work place ,  and one of them has the married name on it  (which appears on the marriage certificate) but the Social Security Card wasn't yet updated and it still has the maiden name. Can I still file it the way it is? What do i do?

P.S. she also has another W2 from a different work place which has her maiden name

Many women do not change their names after marriage.  Use the name that matches her current Social Security card.

Thanks for the reply but to clarify my question:

The W2 already has the married last name printed on it even though the Social Security Card wasn't updated yet.

So no when I go to file it for tax return what do I do? Is it gonna be an issue that the married last name is on it instead of the one on social security (which is maiden)? If it is an issue is there any way to solve it?

The important place where the name has to match is on the personal information where you enter the names for the joint filer. That needs to match up with the SS records for the IRS to accept your return. Just assign the W-2 to the correct person,  People have gotten married before..they will figure it out.
