I filed my taxes in January but I realized that I have received my return even after 21 days. I recently went over my W2 and realized my employer had an incorrect digit on my W2. I reached out to them and I received a W2C. What should I do next?

the bad SSN in the original return is delaying your refund. However, if that's the only change on the W-2c, you shouldn't have to change anything or file an amended return. Once the iRS gets the W-2C from the Social Security Admin, it should be able to finish processing your return
