If you have proof of your income such as pay stubs or bank deposits, you are required to report only what you actually received. The IRS will require the proof at some point if you choose to report less earnings actually received than what was reported to you. First contact the employer to see if they made an error. Compare your actual pay stubs to the W-2 amounts (gross wages, tax withholding for federal, state, social security and medicare). If there is a need for a correction and they do not provide it, you can file a substitute W-2, using Form 4852. How do I file a substitute W-2 using Form 4852?

Question

I worked for a organization for one month in 2023 at an hourly rate just above $20/hr yet my w-2 claims they paid me almost $8000
