Does it matter if my W-2 has my old last name?

Does a name change affect my taxes? Yes, your identification information must match your W-2 information, and these must match the SSA information. If for any reason this information doesnt all match, processing of your tax return may be delayed while you update your information.

How do I report a name change to the IRS?

Whether you file Form SS-5 at your local Social Security office or by mail, youll need to provide documents to support your legal name change, such as an original or certified copy of your marriage certificate. For more information, go to IRS.gov.

Does my name need to match my W-2?

The name on the tax return and the name on the W-2 do not have to match. Only the Social Security numbers have to match from the W-2 and on the tax return.

Does your W-2 have to have your full name?

If the Social Security card contains a middle name, always complete the Form W-2 using just the middle initial (with no punctuation). You can enter a suffix; e.g., Jr., Sr., in location 62-65 of the Code RW, Employee Wage Record. The field for the middle name or initial is 15 spaces.

Which name do you use on a W9?

It should match the name on your individual tax return. If you have a business name, trade name, DBA name or disregarded entity name, fill it in here.

How do I fill out a W 9 for name change?

If submitting this W-9 as an individual, you should enter the name shown on your tax return. If you have changed your last name without informing the Social Security Administration (SSA), enter your first name, the last name as shown on your Social Security card and your new last name.

How do you file taxes when you change your name?

To officially change your name, you need to submit Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card. You can find this form and the instructions online at SSA.gov. Allow a minimum of 10 days after the SSA updates your records before you file a tax return.

How do I correct my w2 for name change?

Contact your employer to request that they correct the form to reflect your new name as it appears on your social security card. You can correct the name on the copies of the W-2 that you use to file your return.
