Learn About The IRS W-2 Tax Form

The W-2 is the wage and tax statement that employers use to collect taxes out of your paycheck. The form is used to report employee wages that were withheld from your paycheck. It's also used to report FICA taxes to the Social Security Administration.

All employers must deliver W-2's to all employees on or before January 31st. Form W-2 reports all income paid out during the calendar year, January 1 through December 31. If you worked for a company between October and March, two Form W-2’s will be submitted on your behalf.

You'll need your W-2's to be able to file your taxes whether online or offline so make sure you have them available.

If you need help filing just start a free tax return using TurboTax and they will automatically help identify and fill out the form for you.
