Question

My first name shown on my W-2 is my nickname and not my legal name. Do I need a corrected W-2?

It should be fine. 

 

The IRS matches the name and Social Security number on your tax return with the information on file with the IRS.

 

As long as your correct Social Security number is on your W-2, the information should match.
