W-2 Forms Available at District Office January 23-26
For those employees that did not choose to receive their 2022 W-2 form electronically, printed copies will be available at the District Office. W-2 forms will be available for pickup Monday, January 23 through Thursday, January 26 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Understanding Your W-2 Wages
Payroll receives many questions about the W-2. Most of these questions focus on understanding the amounts in the numbered boxes on the W-2.
The most common questions relate to why W-2 Wages differ from your final pay stub for the year, and why Federal and State Wages per your W-2 differ from Social Security and Medicare Wages per the W-2. The short answer is that the differences relate to what wage amounts are taxable in each case. The following steps will walk you through the calculations of the W-2 wage amounts and enable you to reconcile these to your final pay stub for the year.
