required W-2 withholding tax

given for taxes withheld.

attached. And when either or
both parties filing a return held
more than one job during the year,
all W-2’s must be attached.
A taxpayer who has not received
his W-2 Form should contact
his employer before checking

gone out of business, the taxpayer

If the Form W-2 is still not
