Employer didn't reduce Box 1 on W2 by Simple IRA deducted from employee check.    I put on as a IRA deduction but calculated it inn the form 8995 so that amount is wrong there.   Looking for a work around on this so all comes out correct

If the W-2 is wrong, the employer needs to provide a corrected W-2

Are you sure this is not a Roth SIMPLE IRA? That would not be deductible through payroll or on taxes. Did you check the FICA calculations?

If the W2 is incorerct they need to contact the employer or payroll company, YOU dont make any corections.
