Corrected W-2 Forms

Two Corrected Wage and Tax Statements are used for reporting corrections to originally reported W-2s:

  • Form W-2c: The purpose of this form is to correct errors on Forms W-2, W-2AS, W-2GU, and W-2VI filed with the Social Security Administration and to provide the corrected information to employees.

    Note: Because the data contained in each box of the W-2 varies by territory, PeopleSoft Global Payroll for United States provides tax form definitions for each territory: W-2c, W-2cAS, W-2cGU, and W-2cVI.

  • W-2cPR: This form is the equivalent of the W-2c form, but is designed for Puerto Rico tax reporting.

Note: Employers required to file 250 or more W-2c forms during a calendar year must file them electronically, unless granted a waiver by the IRS.

Steps for Preparing W-2c and W-2cPR Forms

To prepare the corrected forms:

  1. Prepare the W-2c/W-2cPR data.

    For states and territories other than Puerto Rico, do this on the W-2c Data page. For Puerto Rico, do this on the W-2c Puerto Rico Data page.

  2. Audit W-2c/W-2cPR data and generate Form W-3c/W-3cPR transmittal totals.

    Do this on the Audit Correction Data USA page.

  3. Run the W-2c/W-2cPR print process.

    Do this on the Print Year End Correction Forms page.
