Frequently Asked Questions – W-2 Tax Forms & Envelopes
What is a W-2 form used for?
A W-2 form, also known as a "Wage and Tax Statement," is used to report an employee's annual wages, salary, and other compensation, as well as the taxes withheld from their paychecks. This form is essential for both employees and employers, serving various purposes related to income reporting and tax filing.
Where can I order W-2 forms?
Deluxe has a variety of W-2 form sets, kits, and envelopes that you can order. We also offer tax preparation software that includes the appropriate forms you need to properly file your taxes. Additionally, you can get W-2 forms from the IRS website or from tax preparation agencies.
Do W-2 forms need to be mailed in special envelopes?
No, W-2s do not require special envelopes. You can use any type of envelope to mail them, if it is large enough to fit the form and the recipient's address is clearly visible. However, there are some envelopes that are specifically designed for W-2s.
These security envelopes typically have a window that allows the recipient's name and address to be seen without opening the envelope. This can help to prevent the form from being lost or stolen. Envelopes designed for tax forms can make the process of preparing and sending out W-2 forms more efficient, as you won’t need to manually address each envelope or worry about alignment.
What do the number of Parts mean in reference to W-2 forms?
The number of "Parts" of a W-2 tax form refers to how many copies are provided, based on state and local requirements. Deluxe has W-2 forms with 4-Parts up to 8-Parts to meet your needs.
What do 1-Up, 2-Up, 3-Up, and 4-Up mean in reference to W-2 forms?
These terms refer to the number of W-2 forms printed on a single sheet of paper:
- 1-Up: One W-2 form per sheet
- 2-Up: Two W-2 forms per sheet
- 3-Up: Three W-2 forms per sheet
