Notice to Employee
This is a corrected Form W-2 (or Form W-2AS, W-2CM,
W-2GU, W-2VI, or W-2c) for the tax year shown in box c.
If you have filed an income tax return for the year shown,
you may have to file an amended return. Compare
amounts on this form with those reported on your income
tax return. If the corrected amounts change your U.S.
income tax, file Form 1040-X with Copy B of this Form
W-2c to amend the return you already filed.
If there is a correction in box 5, Medicare wages and
tips, use the corrected amount to determine if you need
to file or amend Form 8959. Attach an original or
amended Form 8959 to Form 1040 or 1040-X, as
applicable.

If you have not filed your return for the year shown in
box c, attach Copy B of the original Form W-2 you
received from your employer and Copy B of this Form
W-2c to your return when you file it.
For more information, contact your nearest Internal
Revenue Service office. Employees in American Samoa,
the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands,
Guam, or the U.S. Virgin Islands should contact their local
taxing authority for more information.
Future developments. For the latest information about
Form W-2c and its instructions, such as legislation
enacted after we release them, go to www.irs.gov/

W-2C is a Federal Individual Income Tax form. Like the Federal Form 1040, states each provide a core tax return form on which most high-level income and tax calculations are performed. While some taxpayers with simple returns can complete their entire tax return on this single form, in most cases various other additional schedules and forms must be completed, depending on the taxpayer's individual situation, to create a complete income tax return package.

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!

Historical Past-Year Versions of Federal W-2C

We have a total of seven past-year versions of W-2C in the TaxFormFinder archives, including for the previous tax year. Download past year versions of this tax form as PDFs here:
