Attention:
You may file Forms W-2 and W-3 electronically on the SSA’s Employer
W-2 Filing Instructions and Information web page, which is also accessible
at www.socialsecurity.gov/employer. You can create fill-in versions of
Forms W-2 and W-3 for filing with SSA. You may also print out copies for
filing with state or local governments, distribution to your employees, and
for your records.
Note: Copy A of this form is provided for informational purposes only. Copy A appears in
red, similar to the official IRS form. The official printed version of this IRS form is scannable,
but the online version of it, printed from this website, is not. Do not print and file Copy A
downloaded from this website with the SSA; a penalty may be imposed for filing forms that
can’t be scanned. See the penalties section in the current General Instructions for Forms
W-2 and W-3, available at www.irs.gov/w2, for more information.
Please note that Copy B and other copies of this form, which appear in black, may be
downloaded, filled in, and printed and used to satisfy the requirement to provide the
information to the recipient.
To order official IRS information returns such as Forms W-2 and W-3, which include a
scannable Copy A for filing, go to IRS’ Online Ordering for Information Returns and
Employer Returns page, or visit www.irs.gov/orderforms and click on Employer and
Information returns. We’ll mail you the scannable forms and any other products you order.

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/

Employers, Please Note:
Specific information needed to complete Form W-2c is
available in a separate booklet titled the General
Instructions for Forms W-2 and W-3, under Specific
Instructions for Form W-2c. You can order these
instructions and additional forms at www.irs.gov/
OrderForms.
Caution: Do not send the SSA any Forms W-2c or W-3c
that you have printed from IRS.gov. The SSA is unable to
process these forms. Instead, you can create and submit
them online. See E-filing, later.
Need help? If you have questions about reporting on
Form W-2c, call the Technical Services Operation (TSO)
toll free at 866-455-7438 or 304-263-8700 (not toll free).
Deaf or hard-of-hearing customers may call any of our
toll-free numbers using their choice of relay service.
E-filing. See the General Instructions for Forms W-2 and
W-3 for information on when you’re required to file
Form(s) W-2c electronically. Employers may use the
SSA’s W-2c Online service to create, save, print, and
electronically submit up to 25 Form(s) W-2c at a time.
When you e-file with the SSA, no separate Form W-3c
filing is required. An electronic Form W-3c will be created
for you by the W-2c Online service. For information, visit
the SSA’s Employer W-2 Filing Instructions & Information
website at www.SSA.gov/employer.
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/
FormW2c.
