My husband's employer issued an incorrect W-2 and is refusing to provide a correct one. Apparently, this means I need to file form 4852 with my taxes, and it appears that there's no tax software that supports this. The only incorrect information on the W-2 is the amount of local income (I live in a jurisdiction that has a local income tax). Everything else is correct. We have a moderately complex tax return involving a couple of businesses, taxable investment income, 15 assorted W-2s and a home mortgage. We itemize and live in NYC. So a few questions:
1. If the federal tax information is correct, can I file federal at least with software, or does the incorrect local income issue mess up the state tax owed and with it our deduction for state income taxes owed, so I have to hand file everything?
2. I really have no idea where to start dealing with a tax return this voluminous, and I don't quite know where to start. Can anyone link me to some useful guides? I feel like I'm in way over my head, and normally taxes don't faze me.
