Question

W-2

If my employer put my middle name as my last name on my w-2 but said they were going to fix it can I file my tax return with the correct info before I get the other w-2 from them

Yes. If you name is wrong on your W2 it will not affect your ability to file a return. Ensure your social security number is correct on the W2.

So do I put what they have on the w-2 for my name even though it’s incorrect and if I file that way it won’t have to be amended ?
