Income Tax Blog > Income Tax Forms > Form W-2Form W-2 Is Used In The United States Income Tax System To Report Wages Paid To Employees And The Taxes Withheld From Them Form W-2 is used in the United States income tax system to report wages paid to employees and the taxes withheld from them. The form is also used to report FICA taxes to the Social Security Administration.
Employers must complete a Form W-2 for each employee to whom they pay a salary.
Form W-2 consists of six copies:
Copy A - Submitted by the employer to the Social Security Administration. (In addition, the employer must also submit Form W-3, which is a summary of all Forms W-2 completed, along with all Copies A submitted. The Form W-3 must be signed by the employer.)
Copy B - To be filed with the employee's federal income tax returns.
Copy C - For the employee's records.
Copy D - For the employer's records.
Copy 1 - To be filed with the employer's state or local income tax returns.
Copy 2 - To be filed with the employee's state or local income tax returns.
Employers are instructed to send copies B, C, 1, and 2 to their employees generally by January 31, which gives these taxpayers about 2 1/2 months before the April 15 income tax due date. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
