Question

My W-2's were mail to the wrong (old) address. When filing, am I required to list the address that's printed on the form or am I allowed to put in my current one?

I updated my address with my employer and the post office months ago. It was still sent to my old one, eventually rerouted to my current one, but I just want to be sure that I'm able to list my new address in the employee information box when filing.

Don't worry if your mailing address on your W-2 form is wrong or has since changed; this won't affect your taxes. Just make sure you've entered your current mailing address in the Personal Info section of TurboTax.

If you expect to get another W-2 from the same employer next year, ask their payroll department to update your address so next year's W-2 doesn't get lost in the mail.

On the other hand, if your name, Social Security number, or any dollar amount(s) on your W-2 are wrong, ask your employer for a corrected W-2
