W2 error - how many days employer has to send me corrected W2

Post by sampathk1 »

I notified my employer about an error in W2 a month back. They acknowledged but has not yet issued a corrected W2. Not giving me any time estimate as well.

Is there any time limit by which they have to issue a corrected W2? I read somewhere it is 30 days from they day they came to know about the error. Trying to find out if there is some legal obligation/time limit.

I don't know; I've had them take quite a while in a couple of cases for myself. I don't recall the exact time but it was longer than a month.
