Federal Form W-2 is a wage and tax statement that reports employment income and withholding and may be needed for individuals to prepare their individual income tax return. The University of Pennsylvania is required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to furnish W-2 forms to all employees on or before January 31 each year.
To have a much better understanding of the information on your W-2 Form, please review this reference document, W-2 Box Descriptions, that explains the content of each box.
