Posted by Joe C on February 5, 2007, 9:00 pm Please log in for more thread options On my W2 for 2006, it seems my employer somehow changed my address. I've been living at the same residence for over twenty years, so it was definitely an error on their part. How should I handle this and will this be a problem for me? My employer, The City of NY, has not been very helpful. They say it would take a long time to get a corrected W2.

It's not a problem as long as your name and SSN are correct. You should make sure they correct their records going forward, but there's no need to worry about the 2006 W-2. -- Phil Marti Clarksburg, MD << ======================================================= >> << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, >> << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties >> << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. >> << >> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts >> << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy >> << are at www.asktax.org. >> << Copyright (2006) - All rights reserved. >> << ======================================================= >> Posted by Bill Brown on February 6, 2007, 10:36 pm Please log in for more thread options > On my W2 for 2006, it seems my employer somehow changed my > address.

They > say it would take a long time to get a corrected W2. If the only error is the mailing address, forget about it. It's not a problem. The IRS looks at the name and SSN to ensure they have the right person's W-2. << ======================================================= >> << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, >> << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties >> << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. >> << >> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts >> << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy >> << are at www.asktax.org. >> << Copyright (2006) - All rights reserved. >> << ======================================================= >> Posted by Paul Thomas, CPA on February 6, 2007, 10:36 pm Please log in for more thread options > On my W2 for 2006, it seems my employer somehow changed my > address.

Don't worry about this years W-2, but get it fixed for the future. -- Paul Thomas, CPA paulthomascpapc@bellsouth.net << ======================================================= >> << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, >> << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties >> << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. >> << >> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts >> << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy >> << are at www.asktax.org. >> << Copyright (2006) - All rights reserved. >> << ======================================================= >> Posted by Mike Wellman on February 6, 2007, 10:36 pm Please log in for more thread options > On my W2 for 2006, it seems my employer somehow changed my > address.

It is of no consequence as long as you actually received your W-2. << ======================================================= >> << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, >> << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties >> << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. >> << >> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts >> << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy >> << are at www.asktax.org. >> << Copyright (2006) - All rights reserved. >> << ======================================================= >> Similar Threads Posted Wrong address on W2 June 1, 2007, 10:42 am Mailing address different from residence address?
