I have a question about tax returns, the SSN on the 2020.2021 and w-2 forms is different from my SSN, and when I told my company's accountant, he told me that the company cannot change it, and the accountant I am asking for is throwing me under the bus, so I don't know what to do.
I would appreciate your help.

That's not an accountant's job, and it's absurd to think an accountant could do it
You'd have to call them yourself or hire a lawyer
I mean, how could the tax office and the city accept it when the numbers are different?

Since you asked for it, I will explain.

If tax returns are simply processed based on accurate information,
tax pro is not necessary, so we are frequently asked about such matters
and have recently processed a similar case.

This is clearly a processing error within the company issuing the W-2.
In other words, when the company issued the W-2, it was processed with the wrong SSN number.
This is a so-called input error. ( If there is no mistake in processing,
side declaration will be Rejected when E File is done. }

If the tax return is based on an effective W-2,
the return will be accepted and processed as long as there are no discrepancies
in the company, income, and social security numbers in the IRS beta base.

> The accountant I'm hiring is throwing it all at me

This is not a tax return processing issue, so even if I ask the accountant to process it
I assume this means that unless there is a mistake on the W-2 filed, I cannot correct it.
I think you mean that unless there is a mistake in the W-2 submitted, you cannot correct it.
I am responding directly to your email address, so if you have any additional questions, please
contact me.

Dear Tax man
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I myself used to file on a 1099 form, but at the end of 2020 I changed to a new employer and started filing on a w-2 form, and at the end of 2021 the company system changed to paperless and I discovered that my SSN is different.
I'm going to call the IRS, but I'm not sure if I'll be connected to a person right away ? (I'm often put on hold for 30 minutes or more by a machine voice at public institutions ? )

Why do you say the company made a mistake ?
You know there are tons of students working with someone else's SSN ?

Regarding calling the IRS
First, before you call, please review your W-2 forms for 2020 and 2021.
When you joined the company in 2020, you should have filled out a W-9 form with your name and
SSN number as your personal information, and you should have given an undertaking that this number and address are correct, and
the company is processing your payroll based on this information.
Therefore, if the SSN number on the W-9 is different from the number on the W-2, it is an input error on the part of the company
and if the SSN number on the W-9 is
wrong, it is not an error on the part of the company.

If the SSN number on the W-9 is wrong, it is not a company error. In your first explanation, you said, "I told the company's accountant and he told me that the company could not change it. Corrected W-2 must be put into effect.

If the company's explanation is that this was not their mistake, but that they processed it
based on the SSN on the W-9 that was submitted, then it is your mistake.

This confirmation is most important.

Second, I assume you have already completed your 2020 and 2021 returns, but
if the SSN number on the W-2 you used for those returns ( and the SSN number on your tax return )
are different, your return will If the SSN number of your W-2 is different from that of your tax return , your return will not be accepted. If the SSN number on the tax return is wrong, the return will not be accepted.

If the SSN on your 2020 and 2021 W-2's and the SSN on your tax return
are the same ( ) and have been processed with the wrong SSN
then, in my extreme opinion, there is no point in changing to the IRS at this stage. I don't think it makes sense to change to IRS at this stage.
The reason is that the return is to verify and process taxable income, and if you file a
return with the wrong number and it matches your W-2 number, the amended return itself will not be accepted
.

The only thing that needs to be changed is that the Social Security and Medicare payments are listed on the W-2
but they are not credited to my SSN
so I need to correct that.

I really wanted to ask you directly about what I just explained, but since you did not respond,
I am summarizing it here.

Again, to reiterate
1 ) Verify the SSN on the W-9 you submitted to the company at the time of employment
2 ) SSN numbers used for the 2020 and 2021 tax returns
3 ) If the wrong numbers were used for the If your return is accepted, it means that contacting the IRS is
meaningless. You may be fined.
4 ) The problem is getting the Social Security Medicare payments for 2020 and 2021 transferred to
the correct SSN. This is not done by the IRS, but by bringing the necessary documents to the Social Security
Office for acceptance. Whether or not they will do this depends
on the situation, but please consider this as the most important point.

You write a long story, but the company says they can't do it, so your long story is meaningless
The important thing is how to fix it yourself You are still flaunting your knowledge.
