Frequently Asked W-2 Questions
Why doesn’t my W-2 form agree to the gross income on my payslip? Why doesn’t my W-2 form agree to my annual salary?
Box 1 (Wages, tips, other compensation) on the W-2 form is your taxable income. Your taxable income can be obtained by reviewing your final payslip for 2019 (for most employees, this will be your 12/2/2019 payslip) and subtracting the YTD Pre-Tax Deductions from your YTD Gross Income.
What is the difference between Box 1 and Box 3 on my W-2 form?
Box 1 is your taxable income for federal income tax and Box 3 is your social security wages. The difference between these amounts is any pre-tax retirement contributions such as ORP, TRS, 403(b) or 457 contributions.
What is Box 12 Code DD?
The reporting in Box 12, using Code DD, is the cost of employer-sponsored health coverage and is for your information only. The amount reported with Code DD is not taxable.
Note: Allow the postal service sufficient time to deliver your W-2 form and reroute to a new address if you have moved. If you have not received your W-2 form by Feb. 17, you may submit a request for a duplicate copy.
