Form W-2C Corrected Wage and Tax Statement is issued by an employer if they discover they made a mistake on Form W-2. If you have received a Form W-2C, Corrected Wage and Tax Statement, you can still electronically file your return.  Enter the information from your Form W-2C as a Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement in the program. See Form W-2 – Adding, Reviewing, or Deleting for instructions on how to enter this information in the program.

If you receive Form W-2C after you filed your return to the IRS (and it has been accepted), then you will need to amend your return.

Attaching Form W-2C

There is no requirement to send the W-2C form if you electronically file as the IRS will receive a copy from the employer. You can use the Forms Assistant to search for and add Form W-2-C to your return.
