<prompt> Human: Just some background. I started working at my job at 15. I got the job because my mom works there as well, so after I got my work permit, I took the job and my mom brought everything the job required like a copy of my SS card to put into our system. Well, my parents go every year to a specific accountant to do their taxes so naturally they brought me along and had that place do mine. Both of my parents got their tax returns perfectly fine for the last two years, but I never got mine. Now this year I got my W-2, and we were going to do our taxes again, but I noticed that they had a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SSN listed on my W-2. I immediately called our home office and they fixed the issue there turns out they somehow have had the wrong one in the system this whole time... I am now wondering a few things. A: Since I didnt get any taxes for the last two years, and someone else did my taxes, could that be the reason? B: If so, how do I go about getting my money back for the last two years? And C: Does having the wrong SSN on file mess up any other important things?Oh, and they sent me a completely new W-2 for this past year, same information as the last just a corrected SSN.  <response>: When you say you didnt get any taxes, do you mean you were expecting a refund and never received one? Look on your tax returns for those years--were you actually claiming a refund? A wrong Social Security Number usually means electronic filing will be rejected; the preparer had a duty to notify you about that if it happened. if you mailed in the return, you shouldve gotten a letter from the IRS about this problem.You should get a return transcript for these years from the IRS. I suspect the electronic filing was rejected, the preparer never told you about it, and so you never actually filed. In that case getting your refund would be as simple as mailing in a correct return for each year. Does having the wrong SSN on file mess up any other important things?Yes, it means the earnings wont properly be credited to your Social Security record. Ask the employer to correct the previous years as well, not just 2017. Then get your earnings statement from the Social Security Administration to verify it has been correctly credited to your account.
