Hello everyone,

I have a client with a W2 where Box 1 is less than W2 Box 11.  This is Creating Negative Wages on 1040 Tax Year 2023!  Has anyone had that problem?  How should I proceed?  If I delete the amount in Box 11 the Wages on the 1040 look more reasonable.  But if I delete the amount in Box 11 will my client receive an IRS notice?

They may want to reach out to the issuer, that doesnt seem correct.
