Steps to Finding Your W-2 Form Quickly Online
Form W-2 is one of the most important documents you need during tax season. Employers must start sending out W-2’s in the mail by the end of January. The Internal Revenue Service has set a deadline of January 31 for them to do so. That means you should see your W-2 by the middle of February. Employers use Form W-2 to keep a record of the income you earned, and the taxes withheld during the previous year. It records wages plus tips and commissions. Also, it breaks down withholdings into the federal, state, and Social Security taxes taken out of your previous years’ salary. All the financial details needed to fill out personal income tax documents are included, so the IRS can have a complete record of what you owe to federal and state governments.
