How do I correct the federal or state amounts in W2s?

If you have reported incorrect federal and/or state amounts in the original W-2s, you can file W-2c forms to correct them. Please note that you should only file a W-2 correction AFTER the SSA has accepted the original form. Since the original W-2 was filed through TaxFileApp , all the original federal and state information is available, you will need to provide the updated information.

Follow the instructions to correct the Federal and State amount:

  • Sign in to your TaxFileApp account. 
  • In the Dashboard, Click Start New >> Form >> Form W-2c.
  • Select the required tax year to correct the W-2 form. 
  • Click Continue under Correct W-2 Employee Details.
  • Select the tax year and Business, then find the employees in the list. Click the Make Correction button to the right of the recipient.
  • Under the Federal and State details, you can find the previously reported amount and a box to enter the correct information. Provide the correct information in the respective boxes and continue the flow. Review the flow and transmit the return.

Note: TaxFileApp currently does not support the direct state filing of W-2c. Please take care of fling W-2c with your state.
