FAQ
What is Form W-2c?
Form W-2c, Corrected Wage and Tax Statement, is what employers use to fix errors on a Form W-2 (or an earlier W-2c) that was already filed with the Social Security Administration or given to an employee. It can correct things like wages, tax withheld, the employee's name or SSN, and the tax year.
Can an employee file a W-2c?
No. Only the employer issues Form W-2c. If you're an employee and your W-2 is wrong, ask your employer to send a corrected form. If they don't, you can contact the IRS for help.
Where do I send Form W-2c?
Copy A goes to the Social Security Administration, along with Form W-3c, Transmittal of Corrected Wage and Tax Statements. You give the other copies to the employee and keep one for your records. Paper Copy A must be the official red-ink scannable form, so use the Jotform PDF for employee and file copies, or file Copy A electronically through the SSA.
When should I file a W-2c?
File it as soon as possible after you find the error. Correcting quickly helps your employee file an accurate tax return and keeps their Social Security earnings record right.
How do I fill out a W-2c form?
Fill in the employer's name, address and EIN, the tax year and form you're correcting, and the employee's SSN and name. If you're correcting the employee's name or SSN, check the box and enter the previously reported details.
Then, for each box that was wrong, enter the amount that was previously reported and the correct amount side by side. Leave boxes that don't need changes blank, and fix any state or local information in the section at the bottom.
