W-2 Form

W-2 Form

The W-2 Form is a tax document that employers in the United States are required to complete and provide to their employees at the end of each calendar year.

The form reports an employee’s annual wages and the amount of taxes withheld from their paycheck. It includes details such as the employee’s Social Security number, the employer’s identification number, and the total earnings, along with federal, state, and local tax withholdings. Employees use the information on the W-2 Form to accurately file their income tax returns. Employers must submit copies to the Social Security Administration (SSA) and relevant state tax agencies.
