Common correction requests:

1. My name is incorrect or my Tax ID is incorrect or missing
   The Form W-2 should contain the name and tax ID that appear on your Social Security card. The information used on the Form W-2 reflects official university records. If this information is incorrect, please submit a copy of your Social Security card with your request for a corrected tax form. Our office will work with the appropriate offices at Indiana University to correct the official records and will issue a corrected Form W-2.
   
   
2. The address used on my Form W-2 is inaccurate
   The Employee Home address is used for issuing Form W-2. A corrected W-2 will not be issued to correct an address. The IRS requires that you include your most current mailing address on your income tax return. Employees can update their Employee Home address electronically through OneStart, Services, Employee Center in the Personal Information section. Individuals that are no longer able to access OneStart as an employee should complete an employee Personal Profile Form to correct the Home Address in the university system.
   
   
3. I disagree with at least one of the financial amounts reported on the Form W-2
   Indiana University Tax Department has produced the W-2 based on the transactions that have occured on your payroll record. These transactions reflect paychecks issued, overpayments processed, refunds issued, non-cash fringe benefit adjustments, and corrections to balances based the instructions for properly reporting information on Form W-2. Generally, the figures used on the W-2 match the figures on your final pay advice for payments issued in that calendar year. If an adjustment was required after the final pay was issued, you may find an additional pay advice representing the adjustment in your list of pay advices even though you may have not been aware that this adjustment occurred. Please compare your W-2 to the link View Payroll YTD Totals through the OneStart, Services, Employee Center.
   
   
4. The locality listed on the W-2 is not accurate
