Is this a W-2C (corrected W-2) that corrects some boxes form the original W-2?

 

Is box 13, 3rd party sick pay checked and there is a code J in box 12?

Box 1 is the amount of wages you received in 2019.    Did you not receive ANY pay in 2019?

 

If you are not longer working there it might be reporting some employer contribution to a retirement plan in box 12.

 

You should contact the issuer of the W-2 and ask for an explanation.
