If you have filed a W2 that shouldn't have been filed, then you need to void that return using the correction form W-2c. You can void a return that was filed with us or through other service providers. 

Here’s how to void a W2 that was filed:

1. Sign in to TaxBandits, click on Form W-2c under Start New Form.
2. Select the Tax year and proceed.    

Filed with Other Providers

You need to provide the employer and employee details of the original return that was filed earlier.

Choose the Form

1. Choose I filed my return with other service providers and click Next.
   
   
2. Enter Employer details or pull up from the address book and click Next.
   
   
3. Enter Employee details or pull up from the address book and click Next.
   
   

Make Corrections

1. In the Federal Correction page, enter originally reported amounts in the Previously Reported column and zeroes in all amount boxes in the Correct Information column and click Next.
   
   
2. In the State Correction page, choose the State and enter State ID in both Previously Reported column and Correct Information column.
3. Enter originally reported amounts in the Previously Reported column and zeroes in all amount boxes in the Correct Information column and click Next.
