If you work for one employer during the year, in most cases, you’ll only have one W-2 form to account for. However, if you work for multiple employers at the same time, or for different employers at various times throughout the year, you may have multiple W-2s, all of which must be included when filing your taxes.
What if I have multiple W2 forms from different employers?
Multiple W-2 Forms from Different Employers Employers must report the income they pay each employee and the amount they withhold on a Form W-2. You transfer the information from the multiple W-2s to your tax return the same as you would if you had a single W-2, with one exception.
What are the different types of W-2 forms?
If you know whether or not you have to pay a state and/or local income tax, you can figure it out right here: What’s The Difference Between the Different Types of W-2 Forms? There are four parts to a W-2: A, B, C, and D. Some W-2 forms have two more parts: Copy 1 and Copy 2.
Can a company cut two W-2s for an employee?
The IRS notes that an agent working in this capacity places his own name in the employer box and normally cuts only one W-2 for his client. However, if the agent acts on behalf of more than one employer or is himself an employer and acts on behalf of another employer, he may need to file a W-2 on behalf of his client/employee for each employer.
When do employers send out W-2’s to employees?
Every year around tax time employers send out W-2 tax forms to employees so that the employees can file their income taxes. The process is fairly straightforward in most cases. Employees receive their W-2 from their employer, file their taxes and either pay what they owe or receive a refund.
