    Incorrect W2
    I received my W2 from my current employer around the end of February (Late, I know), and it was completely screwed up. Some of the fields were missing, some were only half filled in... So, they updated the accounting software, and now we have new ones (Recieved at the end of march... just keeps getting later)

    For the most part, these are correct. Unfortunately, the tax tables they had for the accounting software were wrong and not nearly enough money was taken out. We're talking NO local tax taken out, Very little state/fed/medicare/SS.

    My W2 is still incorrect. The SS wages match my regular wages (in box 1), but the medicare wages box is completely blank. Now, I was told by my employer that it should match box 1, but the W2 is still incorrect.

    Do I fill out my tax return (via Turbotax) with the information on the W2 and get audited, then explain my situation, or the information I know to be correct, and go against the W2?



    My other employer from last year sent me 2 W2's, both with the same employer ID number. One has all my regular income on it, and the only thing filled out on the other is Non-Taxable Sick Pay. I believe this to be my unused vacation pay that I received after I had quit. DO I enter that as a separate W2, or add the information together, since it's the same EID, name, and address?

    It is better that you get a correct W2 from your employer. Meanwhile you can file for extension. Make sure to pay taxes before the due date.
