Can I file W-2C at the same time that I'm filing my tax returns?

Thanks for your help!

 

I work in accounting department and I reconciled all my 2021 check stubs. I’m sure they need to correct my W-2. 
I was hoping if anyone can guild me how to submit W-2C myself if they don’t want to initiate.

You can file a conventional paper return that includes IRS Form 4852 if all efforts to obtain a W-2 from your employer have failed. Here's how to fill one out:

  1. Open your return and search for W-2. Select the Jump to link in the search results to get to the W-2 entry screen.
  2. Fill out your W-2 as best you can using the information from your last pay stub.
  3. Answer any questions until you get to the Let's check for uncommon situations screen.
  4. Check the box next to Didn't get a W-2 and select Continue.
  5. On the Let's check if you need a substitute W-2 screen, select Yes then Continue.
  6. Answer the follow-up questions. Select Print to download and print your IRS Form 4852.

Returns including Form 4852 can't be e-filed per IRS regulations.

What's wrong with your W2?

They didn’t include my final check.

When did you get the final check?  Was it over year end?  Maybe it will be on a W2 for 2022 next year.
