LEOPINTAX Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hello All! I'm back! I changed my name from mydalbasti because I couldn't figure out my password and email I used. Anyway, has anybody heard of a company( using the same EIN #) issuing 2 W-2's to one person? Thanks in advance! Yvonne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLMAS Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Yes, I have seen where a company changes payroll company during the year, and employees get two W-2's, I would ask the employee to double check his wages are correct, sometimes is lack of communication. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medlin Software, Dennis Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 If same FEIN, watch for / handle over withholding of SS. Could be (off the top of my head): Different SEIN. Employee is subject to more than one state tax jurisdiction, or I suppose, structure change only requiring new SEIN. Multiple local taxes, too many to fit on one W2 (think Ohio). Should only have one Federal and State information. Same "company", different SEIN (multi state liability). Third Party Sick Pay Change in payroll processor (a paid processor is not going to want to prepare any report with pay information they did not control) Change in payroll software, failing to merge the data. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee B Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 One other possibility, creation of W -2s is a favorite tool of scammers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odds of a scammer going to a preparer who finds this group must be small, but still possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEOPINTAX Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Yeah no she called the company and they said they have been doing this for years. She was paid monies to retire early. So they paid her with 2 W-2's. Thanks for the input! Yvonne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 REALLY double-check the totals. We had one case of a company changing payroll service providers; old one issued W2 for half year, new one issued W2 for full year. Major, major problems for MANY people.
