I haven´t recieve my refund yet. 
In turbotax the status since the first day it´s "Accepted"
In IRS the status is "still being processed"

Bring this to your employer's attention at once.  The employer needs to issue a corrected W-2, and send the corrected information to the IRS.  That is important for you for tax purposes, but it is also very important so that Social Security will have an accurate record of your earnings.  Your future Social Security benefits will be affected if this is not corrected.
