Understanding W-2 and W-2C Forms in Adams Tax Forms
W-2 and W-2C forms are crucial for accurate tax filing, and Adams Tax Forms provides users with tools to manage these efficiently. However, some users may encounter questions or concerns about accessing original forms, empty fields, or processing corrections. This article addresses these common concerns and explains the system's behavior for better understanding.
Understanding Empty Fields on W-2C Forms
On W-2C forms, only the information that has been corrected will be displayed. This means if a particular section of the form is not being updated or changed, it will remain blank on the W-2C. Users often mistake this for missing information, which is a standardized design of correction forms. This ensures that only the corrected details are prominently shown, highlighting what has been adjusted. If you're mailing corrected forms to state tax departments, please note that Adams Tax Forms does not provide state-specific mailing addresses within its application. For such requirements, users may need to consult state tax websites or official resources.
Issues with Viewing Original W-2 Forms
If you are unable to see your original W-2 form under the payer and only see the W-2C form, the system is behaving as designed. When a corrected form (W-2C) exists for a record, the system automatically hides the original W-2 form on the Forms page to avoid confusion and ensure users work with the most up-to-date information. To view the original W-2 form, you will need to click the Actions dropdown menu of the W-2C form and select View Original.
