Employer's written refusal to provide corrected W-2 can do 2 bad things to me. Make me liable for tax problems by showing more income than I report (and that can be YEARS down the road). Also, as I now receive Social Security-it may give me problems by "false" reporting of income which may subject me to legal problems and/or overpayment. The 3 W-2 forms showed DIFFERENT amount of wages paid, so are not obviously duplicates.

First, you ask the employer to 'fix' this, and when that does not work, you call the Labor Commission. The State Labor Commission will MAKE him take the proper steps to give you one corrected W2, and to make sure you do not get into tax problems of your own. An employer who does this is totally illegal.
Do not let yourself become in trouble with the IRS because HE/SHE won't do the job correctly!

Are you sure that this is actually incorrect? I've had multiple W2s from the same employer in the past and it was all on the up-and-up.
Some employers have multiple divisions with separate payroll systems and it is not at all unusual to receive a W2 from each one that cut a paycheck for you at any time during the year.
You should compare the amounts on the W2s to your pay stubs for the year. There may not be any discrepancy at all.

The Best thing you could do is check out the W2 and if is not corrected talk to your manager and both of you call the IRS so you could get the W2 Corrected and so the IRS can send you the correct one @ home. Remember now your manager don't do the W2's is the IRS. If you are in the need to filed your taxes use your last pay stub. Now if they are putting more income on your W2 form try to find all you pay stubs and fax them to the IRS.
Good luck

Check out your last paycheck of 2006. It will include your wages for that payperiod as well as your YTD wages (year to date) it will show how much you earned and how much taxes you paid in each category. Many tax places will be happy with just your final paystub, or you can do your own taxes (it's really easy) at turbotax.com. It will explain to you what you need to do if you do not have a w2. You should consider reportig your employer to your state taxing authority or just get another job, if they don't care about the federal regulations, they don't care about you.

Call the IRS and complain. Employers are required to supply correct W-2 by January 31, of each year. Call Your state tax authority and complain and ask for help. Don't let them get away with this.

If you have your last paycheck stub for the year that you did work for the employer then that should be what you should use on your w-2
