Question

What types of information does a W-2 form contain? Check all that apply.

how much has been earned
how much sales tax has been paid
how much has been withheld for taxes
how much property tax has been paid
how much additional tax is due
how much withheld tax will be refunded

Answer 1

Select:
- ✅ how much has been earned
- ✅ how much has been withheld for taxes

Not on a W-2:
- ⛔ how much sales tax has been paid
- ⛔ how much property tax has been paid
- ⛔ how much additional tax is due
- ⛔ how much withheld tax will be refunded

Brief note: a W-2 reports wages/tips/other compensation and amounts withheld (federal, Social Security, Medicare, and often state/local income tax), plus employer/employee IDs. Refunds or additional tax due are determined when you file your tax return, not shown on the W-2.
