Form W-2 is used to report an employee's wages, tips and other compensation, and the taxes withheld from those earnings during the calendar year. Employers are required to provide a copy of the W-2 to the employee and file a copy of the W-2 along with Form W-3 to the SSA and the IRS by the end of January following the end of the calendar year.
