Important things to know about W-2 tax forms
A W-2 tax form is a statement employers prepare for their employees. This form includes details about the employee’s total earnings, such as Medicare and Social Security earnings. It also has information about the federal and state taxes withheld by the employee. Individuals should review their W-2 tax forms carefully once a year to ensure the right amount is withheld from their paychecks and that they receive a fair sum.
