Three (3) copies usually are sent to each employee.

Specifically, Form W-2 is Wage and Tax Statement. It is a six-part form. Copy B-To Be Filed With Employee's FEDERAL Tax Return is attached to the employee's return if the employee is filing a paper return. Copy C-For EMPLOYEE's RECORDS is for the employee to keep with other tax records for that year. Copy 2-To Be Filed With Employee's State, City, or Local Income Tax Return is attached to the employee's state or local return if the employee is filing a paper return.

The remaining three copies of Form W-2 are distributed as follows. Copy A-For Social Security Administration is sent to the Social Security Administration by the employer. Copy D-For Employer is for the employer's records. Copy1-For State, City, or Local Tax Department is sent by the employer to the state or other tax department.

Who is required to file W-2 forms?

Form W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement) is an IRS form that is filled out by employers. But both employees and employers are required to file Form W-2. Employers are required to file copies with the Social Security Administration and to provide three copies to employees in paper form. Employees are required to attach one copy to their federal return and one copy to their state return. If employees are filing their returns electronically, they don't send copies of the W-2 forms. They instead keep all copies for their records.
