What If My Employer Sent My W-2 to the Wrong Address?
If the W-2 has been issued for this purpose, the Internal Revenue Service requires that the employer write or print “REISSUED STATEMENT” on the form. If the statement is reissued electronically, this is not necessary. Employers do not have to send a second copy to the IRS if the statement is reissued.
What to do if your form W2 has not been corrected?
If by the end of February, your Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement has not been corrected by your employer after you attempted to have your employer or payer issue a corrected form, you can request that an IRS representative initiate a Form W-2 complaint.
When do you have to file a W-2 with the IRS?
The IRS requires that all employee wages be reported at the end of the year on a Wage and Tax Statement more commonly referred to as a W-2. This will include all compensation the employee received (including non-taxable compensation). It will also include all taxes withheld by the employer.
