Overview

At the end of the year, an employer must send Form W-2, generally known as the Wage and Tax Statement, to each employee and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Employees' annual salary and the amount of taxes deducted from their paychecks are listed on a W-2. Since employees are required to submit taxes on both the federal and state levels, W-2 forms are separated into sections for each.
