Like most broke Nepali students I had to use my SSN in order to work this summer. Thanks to my rather illegible
writing, my W2 from my summer job has the wrong social security number and my name is also slightly
misspelled (the manager could not decipher my hand writing all that well and typed the wrong SSN and also
misspelled my name).
So...the question is , should I let this slide and not claim taxes coz both my SSN and name are wrong on the
w2 form , ( so that its not gonna show illegal work on my part further down the line if this goes through), or
should I inform my summer employers and ask them to make corrections and send me a new w2? please let me
know the consequences/chances of getting away if possible.
Thanks..
