What if the W-2c statement you received doesn’t have the corrected Federal Income Tax Withheld amount?

If the W2-C is not correct (and you filed) you will have to file an amendment. If the W2-C is wrong and you did not file, you will have to get another corrected W2-C.

Please note: Form 1040X will not be available until 2/7/19. Below is a link which will walk you through the process of filing an amendment.

My W-2c has

previously reported

federal income tax withheld

(blank)

and then

correct information

federal income tax withheld

(blank)

however on the original W-2 it has an amount listed for federal income tax withheld.

what should I do when I file?

Is there anything else on your corrected W2 (W2C) not on your original W2?

If you already entered your W-2 and you haven't yet filed, go back and edit your W-2 with the corrected info from your W-2c.

I had already filed with my original W-2 before seeing my employer had also uploaded a W-2C. The only things corrected on the W2-C are the following fields:

Wages, tips, other compensation

social security wages

medicare wages and tips

social security tax withheld

medicare tax withheld

the rest is all blank from boxes 2 (federal income tax withheld - both for "previously reported" and "correct information")

and boxes 7-20 (including all state information is blank).
