Form W-2c

If the filer submitted Form W-2 through ExpressTaxFilings.com and the return was accepted by the IRS, they can make corrections of that form by going to ‘Submitted Forms’ on the dashboard, choose the correct form and click ‘Make Corrections’ under Options.
The filer will then select the Payer and the form that needs to be corrected. This will open a Form W-2 C, where they will be able to update the correct information. Correct errors (such as incorrect name, SSN, or amount) on a previously filed Form W-2 or Form W-2c.
If they are correcting only an employee's name and/or SSN, complete Form W-2c boxes d through i. Do not complete boxes 1 through 20. Have the employee correct the SSN and/or name on his or her original Form W-2. If the employee has been given a new social security card following an adjustment to his or her resident status that shows a different name or SSN, file a Form W-2c for the most current year only.
In order to correct an incorrect tax year and/or EIN on a previously submitted Form W-2, enter the tax year and EIN originally reported, and enter in the “Previously reported” boxes the money amounts that were on the original Form W-2. In the “Correct information” boxes, enter zeros. Prepare a second Form W-2C and enter zeros in the “Previously reported” boxes, and enter the correct money amounts in the “Correct information” boxes. Enter the correct tax year and/or correct EIN.


Form W-3

Anyone who paper filed Form W-2 must file Form W-3 to send with Copy A of Forms W-2 to the SSA. Even if there is only one paper W-2 form being filed a W-3 is still required. Do not file a W-3 for Form(s) W-2 that were submitted electronically to the SSA.
A transmitter or sender may sign Form W-3 (or use their PIN to e-file) for the employer or payer only if the sender is authorized to sign by an agency agreement (whether oral, written, or implied) that is valid under state law; and it reads “For (name of payer)” next to the signature.

Corrections reported on Form W-2c may require the filer to make corrections to their previously filed employment tax returns using the corresponding “X” form, such as Form 941-X, Adjusted Employer's QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return or Claim for Refund; Form 943-X, Adjusted Employer's Annual Federal Tax Return for Agricultural Employees or Claim for Refund; Form 944-X, Adjusted Employer's ANNUAL Federal Tax Return or Claim for Refund; or Form CT-1X, Adjusted Employer's Annual Railroad Retirement Tax Return or
