how to report box 2 form W-2 with negative number ?

You cannot have a negative amount in Box 2.  Don't even know how the employer could have generated that other than typing it out.

Taking a look at all the payslips for the year should give you a clue what has gone wrong if your client can't tell.  My wild guess is the employer issued a second W-2 to reflect money returned to your client for erroneous withholding when a W-2C should have been issued.

Manually typed W-2 and somebody's fat fingers accidently hit the minus key on the keyboard while typing box 2?
