If you receive the missing or corrected Form W-2 after you filed your return and you discover you made a mistake on your Form 4852 that you need to correct, you’ll need to file an amended tax return for the year using Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.
What is a revised W-2 called?
If an employer makes a mistake on a form W-2, the employer will issued a corrected form W-2, called a form W-2c, Corrected Wage and Tax Statement. If you have not yet filed your tax return, just use the corrected amounts as reported on the W-2c on your tax return.
When do you need a corrected W-2 form?
When do you need a corrected W-2 form? You need to create an amended W-2 form if you make an error on Form W-2, such as including incorrect names, Social Security numbers, or amounts. Employers can make Form W-2 corrections on forms sent to employees as well as forms filed with the SSA. Possible penalties for filing an incorrect W-2
Can you change the W2 issued by your employer?
No. You cannot change the W-2 issued by your employer. TurboTax has released a FAQ on this issue – the answer is to print and mail the return. **Disclaimer: This post is for discussion purposes only and is NOT tax advice.

What do you need to know about form W-2c?
Form W-2c includes the same boxes as Form W-2. It asks for things like employer name and EIN, employee name and SSN, and federal, state, and local tax information. But unlike Form W-2, there are two columns for federal, state, and local wage and tax information.
What to do if you put wrong address on Form W-2?
If you put the wrong address on the copies of Form W-2 you distributed to your employee, you’ll need to do one of the following (again, do not file Form W-2c with the SSA): Issue a new Form W-2 containing the correct address. Write “REISSUED STATEMENT” on the new employee copies
