      Left a 7000 w2 off my taxes on accident. Employer filled it out wrong anyway and put tax paid on amount in box one instead of gross amount because I filed exempt for part of the year. So instead of putting total wages they only put what I was taxed on, leaving out 5000 of income I made and they swear it’s right but it’s not. Box 1 3 and 5 always match unless you have pretax deductions which I don’t. I don’t know what to do. Will the irs reject the missing w2 or will they refund me and then let me amend? And what about when they see the incorrect amount in box 1?

      You will have to see if the IRS lets it slip through and processes it, if they do once you receive your refund you can follow these steps to get the correct w2 and amend. *If* it doesn’t process and falls into wage review, you’ll likely need to do those steps and amend as soon as you know its been held up.
