IRS

Wage & Withholding (W Series)

Forms used by employers and employees for wage reporting, tax withholding, and taxpayer identification. Includes W-2, W-4, W-9, and related forms.

The W series forms handle wage reporting and tax withholding — the backbone of the U.S. pay-as-you-go tax system. Form W-2 is the annual wage statement employers must provide to each employee and the IRS by January 31, showing total wages and taxes withheld. Form W-4 tells employers how much federal income tax to withhold from each paycheck. Form W-9 provides a taxpayer's TIN to entities that need to report payments to them (required before issuing 1099 forms). Other forms in this series include W-7 for ITIN applications, W-8 series for foreign persons, and W-2 variants for different wage types. These forms touch virtually every working American each year.
