What is Form W-2?

Last modified 3/30/2023 2:55:34 AM EST

Form W-2 is a tax form used by the Internal Revenue Service/Social Security Administration to report critical information regarding the amount of federal, state, and other taxes withheld by your employer, as well as other employment compensation such as health insurance, adoption, and dependent care aid, health savings account contributions and more. 

If you changed employers during the year, worked multiple jobs, or worked for a business that was acquired, you may receive multiple W-2 Forms. TaxBandits supports the e-filing of Form W-2 with the SSA and state(s).
