ok, i still h aven't had the fortune of being able to come up with the funds to legally have my name changed and there's no legal aid in my county or whatever to help me out. i was unemployed for quite some time after having to quit lowe's. at lowe's i know i will be receiving a w2 stating i worked there as Mekayla, and they told me the only thing that HAD to have my legal name on it was a drug test. i filled out everything out using my name and nothing was ever said.
i have a new job now, they refused to use my name on my paycheck though i don't use the window, i can just drop it throught the atm, but they were willing to use my initials to accomodate me which is nice. but when it comes to my w2 from them, it will have my legal name on it and supposedly my boss is supposed to hand it to me personally.
my ex said it's because if the ssn and name do not match, they will get rejected. or at least at used to be this way. if that was the case, would not Lowe's have said something as well?
i have searched online and found another woman who called the irs and said that they (irs) are only concerned with the 4 first four letters of the last name matching.
i plan on doing this all online as ai have gotten royally screwed the last two years by h and r block and refuse to have them do it ever again, plus i am single this year.
i also plan on having whatever child support doesn't steal from me direct deposited into my checking account.
can anyone clear this up for me?
thanks, mekayla
