My employer just informed me that they reported my wages incorrectly in 2008. They are willing to make the correction but Im uncomfortable re-opening 2 years worth of tax returns. What do you recommend?


ANSWER


Expert Wray Rives's Answer:

 Your employer is required by law to send a corrected W-2 to the IRS if they identify an error in the reporting.  Once the IRS receives the corrected W-2, they will be expecting you to file an amended return to report the difference.  I would recommend you file the amended return.
