  • 1.  Corrected W-2 Box 12 Code W

    Client received a corrected W-2 increasing Box 12 Code W HSA Contributions. Boxes 1, 3 & 5 should decrease by the same amount as the Box 12 increase, since these amounts are not includible in employee's income. Form W-2C only shows the correction for Box 12 Code W. Does the client need to go back to his employer for another corrected W-2, or can I adjust the income on the 1040 and attach a statement of explanation?
    Thank you.

    Ask for a copy of the last paystub of 2016.  It could be an Employer contribution and not an Employee contribution.
