How to fill out w-2 information for 2017?

1. Gather necessary documents: To fill out your W-2 for 2017, you will need your personal information such as your name, social security number, and address. Additionally, you will require information related to your employer, including their full name, employer identification number, and address.
2. Report your income: On the W-2 form, you will find various boxes labeled with different income categories. You need to accurately report your wage, salary, and tips received during 2017 in the designated boxes. Make sure to include any additional compensation you received, such as bonuses or commissions.
3. Provide tax withholding details: The W-2 form also requires you to report the total amount of federal income tax withheld from your paycheck for the year. You can find this information in Box 2 of the form. Be sure to double-check the accuracy of this information with your pay stubs or payroll records.
4. Include other financial information: Apart from your income and tax withholdings, the W-2 form may also include boxes for reporting dependent care benefits, retirement plan contributions, and any other special circumstances that may impact your tax status. Fill out these sections accurately if they are applicable to you.
5. Check for accuracy and completeness: Once you have filled out all the necessary information on the W-2 form, review it carefully to ensure accuracy. Check for any errors in the numbers or personal information. Incomplete or incorrect information can lead to processing delays or issues with your tax return.

Who needs w-2 information for 2017?

1. Employees: All individuals who were employed by a company or organization during the tax year 2017 and received wages, salaries, or tips must have their W-2 information for that year. This includes both full-time and part-time employees.
2. Independent contractors: If you worked as an independent contractor during 2017 and received more than $600 in income from a single company, that company should have issued you a Form 1099 instead of a W-2. However, it is important to note that some employers may classify workers as independent contractors to avoid certain tax obligations. In such cases, you may still need a W-2 form to accurately report your income and taxes.
3. Taxpayers filing income tax returns: Anyone who is required to file an income tax return for the tax year 2017 needs their W-2 information. This includes individuals who earned income from various sources and need to report that income to calculate their tax liability accurately.
4. Individuals claiming tax credits or deductions: For those who qualify for certain tax credits or deductions, having the W-2 information is essential. These credits or deductions may include the earned income tax credit (EITC), child tax credit, educational credits, or deductions related to student loan interest or retirement contributions.

Remember, it is crucial to keep your W-2 forms and other tax-related documents for a specific period, as they may be required for tax audits or verification purposes in the future.
