You are allowed to correct any mistakes yourself in boxes that have letters, but not in the boxes that are numbered. If you paper file, just ignore it. If you electronically file, enter the W2 info to match the form. It will not affect your return at all.

If you e-file the preparer is instructed to enter the address on the W2 even if it is not currently correct. But the refund comes to the address on the main 1040 form (or is directly deposited.) -- Don EA in Upstate NY << ======================================================= >> << 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?
