IRS Verifying 2023 W-2s - What to Expect?

I found a way to solve IRS W-2 verification process, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gchbK7SJTiY

I went through this last year. It's usually pretty straightforward. Just make sure you have your W-2s and the notice ready when you call. They'll probably ask you to confirm some info on the forms.

Ugh, the IRS is such a pain. I had to verify my W-2s a couple years ago and it took forever to get someone on the phone. Good luck!

Don't stress too much, OP. This is pretty routine. They just want to make sure everything matches up. Double-check all the numbers on your W-2s against what's on the notice. If anything looks off, make note of it before you call.

I found a method to get someone on the phone quickly. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Jc9x-gysK0

Here's a comprehensive guide for verifying your W-2s with the IRS: • Have all your documents ready: W-2s, the IRS notice, and last year's tax return (just in case). • Double-check all numbers on your W-2s against the notice. • Be prepared to verify personal info (name, address, SSN, etc.). • If there are discrepancies, gather any supporting documents. • Take notes during the call for future reference. • Ask about next steps and timeframes. • If you're unsure about anything, don't hesitate to ask the agent for clarification. Remember, this is a routine process. Stay calm and organized, and you'll be fine!

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops? the irs already has all our info, why make us verify it? 🙄

Quick question - did the notice give you a deadline to respond by? Sometimes they do, and it's important not to miss it.

Has anyone had experience with discrepancies on their W-2s? My employer messed up mine last year and it was a whole ordeal to fix 😫
