Employees generally receive Form W-2 from their employers to report wages and tax withholding. Not every taxpayer receives a W-2; self-employed people and others may receive different information forms. Gather the documents that apply to your income when preparing your tax return.
Form W-2 identifies the employer and employee and reports wages and tax withholding for the year. Review the identifying information, earnings, and withholding amounts, and contact your employer if you find an error.
Form W-4 tells an employer how to calculate federal income tax withholding. Form W-9 provides a taxpayer identification number to a person or business that needs it for information reporting, such as a payer working with an independent contractor. These forms serve different purposes from an income tax return. Bring any applicable Forms W-2, 1099, and 1098 to your tax preparer.
