The amount I quoted is the difference between what I got and what they claim I got. I'll explain. My problem is that although we received the check in Feb (and cashed it about 2 months later after we were 100% sure it was meant for us), and the w-2 this year, (after we realize it was also for the settlement distribution from 2009), the w2 does not match the amount of the check distribution, and we have no idea how to check with this company and figure out if it is correct, if we are expecting another form (because some say an interest 1099 form is sometimes also sent), or if we need to request a corrected w2. This is holding up filing our taxes. I even checked with a tax preparer, albeit through a third party, and they really only said that maybe the discrepancy was based on wages fed, ss, medicare, state taxes, but given its such a low amount, no federal was withheld, and adding ss, medicare, and state, it does not add up to the difference and in fact, the earnings summar says 'Gross Pay' for this lower amount. They give no contact information in with the W2 besides their address but its not even a guarantee someone will receive something there and who knows how long it will take. Has anyone been able to get in contact with these people? I even asked an IRS rep when I called their 800 number for another issue (not worth it to call them for anything either - 25 minutes on hold to be read information available on the website), and I was told for any W2 help I had to talk to the employer... Well that is easier said than done because the 'employer' would be the person distributing the w2, brown qualified, not Walmart... I wish we never cashed the check, its not worth the headache. I advise anyone that got it and has yet to cash it, just send it back and tell them to keep their money.
