State withholding issue
In 2025, salaried client worked in California for a company for 1 month and then was transferred and moved to Washington state.
Her W2 erroneously showed 50% of her income attributed to California. When her payroll dept was notified, they overstated her income for California, they issued a corrected W2, showing her California income and state tax withheld at roughly 1/12th of her salary.
Meanwhile, her paycheck stubs show her California income and withheld tax at equal to the first W2 so the reissued W2 might have the correct income for California but the withheld tax is considerably lower than the check stubs show. The company payroll dept is refusing to reissue another W2.
How should I proceed with this?
Thanks!
