I had two sources of income in 2024: one from the USA and one from Poland. The income from Poland was reported on a different form, which I entered as another W-2. However, I keep getting an error when entering the Polish Employer Identification Number, as one digit doesn’t fit. What should I do to fix this and submit my documents correctly?

Did the Polish employer pay social security and Medicare payments? You cannot make the entry as a W2 if they did not report the information on a W2 to the IRS and SSA.

Taxes were not paid to American institutions; they were only paid in Poland. Since I cannot get a refund for that tax, I did not file the form to claim the tax credit.
