I received a W2-C form because my employer had the wrong SSN. I found out after I received my W-2 Form.

Since it was an error on my SSN, they only filled the boxes d-i and the rest were left blank.

How should I file this W2-c form in Turbo Tax? ( I already filled the information from my W2 Form before I received the W2-C form) I didn't find an option where it says I received a W2-C because of a SSN error. should I still check the box that says "I got a corrected W2 form from..." and use the information I got from the original W2 form?

If the only thing that changed was your Social Security number, there is no need to amend your return.

When you enter the W-2 information in TurboTax, it automatically associates the W-2 entry with your correct Social Security number that was entered as you started your tax return.

The corrected W-2 will be used by the IRS to match the income that you reported with the income reported by your employer. It will also be used by the Social Security Administration to be sure that you get credit for your wages and Social Security taxes that were withheld.
