What is a W-2c Corrected Wage and Tax Statement?
The W-2c is an addendum to the W-2 and must be filed with your income tax return along with your original W-2 form. A W-2c may be issued for numerous reasons (e.g., the original W-2 may have reported the incorrect name, Social Security number, incorrect wages, or incorrect taxes). Only the items that need to be corrected will be reflected on the W-2c. As with the W-2, the university sends a copy of the W-2c to the Social Security Administration (SSA).
