You will need both your original Form W-2 and the corrected Form W-2c to file your taxes. That is because your corrected Form W-2c only contains information in boxes where a correction has been made. Boxes that are blank on the corrected Form W-2c indicate places where no correction has been made, and so the number should be reported from your original Form W-2.
The error on your original Form W-2 in 2020 was that taxable income related to your life insurance benefit was overstated. That means that for most, the correction will impact Box 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 12C. Depending on your individual tax situation, this issue may not impact all of these boxes for you. Your February 12, 2021 paycheck may also contain a small additional deposit which represents the amount that was over-withheld for Social Security and Medicare taxes in 2020 based on overstated gross income.
