Before you create your W-2.
A W-2 summarizes employee wages and taxes withheld for a calendar year. Use reconciled payroll figures rather than estimating annual amounts from a single paycheck.

Your PDF. Its purpose.
The original 11-page packet contains your entries on Copies 1, B, C, 2 and D. The red Copy A remains blank. Inspect the available copies and reconcile the wage and withholding boxes with year-end payroll records before buying the PDF.
The service does not file with the SSA, IRS or a state tax agency. The blank red Copy A is not a copy to use for SSA filing. Preparing this document does not verify the payroll records or complete the employee’s tax return.
Check the official IRS W-2 information and instructions for filing requirements and supporting worksheets.
W-2 questions,
before you begin.
Can a pay stub take the place of a W-2?
They serve different purposes. A pay stub describes a paycheck and its cumulative totals; a W-2 reports annual wage and tax information. Prepare the W-2 from reconciled year-end records, checking each box rather than copying a single pay stub total.
How can I check the W-2 before purchasing?
Complete the required entries and inspect the available preview pages. Reconcile the names, dates and figures with your source records before continuing to checkout.
What does the W-2 PDF cost?
$9.99 USD covers one form prepared with this builder. Review the supported edition, your entries and the complete order total before paying.
Can I return to this W-2 later?
Use Save for later to create a private editing link valid for 30 days. Completed-order access lasts 90 days. Keep those links secure and download your finished PDF for your own records.
