The tax document your employer sends you each January showing how much you earned and how much was withheld for taxes during the previous year.
It also includes information on benefits, contributions, and deductions like participation in a 401 (k) and employer-provided health insurance premiums. You'll need this form to file your tax return. Under the new overtime rules, qualified overtime compensation must be reported separately on your W-2.
