What is Federal Form W2c?

A W2c form is an IRS tax document used to correct or amend a W-2. A W-2 needs to be amended with a W-2C when an error is made when reporting employee income. Typical errors found on W-2s include

  • Incorrect name
  • Incorrect SSN

Employers are required to provide employees with the Corrected W-2 Forms, ensuring that both parties have accurate and updated information for tax reporting purposes.


When is the due date to file Form W2c?

There is no specific deadline for filing Form W-2c. However, the SSA suggests that you file Form W-2c as soon as you discover an error(s) on your original
Form W-2.


How do I correct incorrect name or SSN in Form W-2?

If there is an error in the employee name or SSN in the W-2 Form reported, fill in boxes “a” to ‘i” in Form W2c and send the form to the SSA. Also, file Form W-2c and W-3c and send it to the SSA.


How do I correct the incorrect year or EIN on Form W-2?
