W-2 form

Read a random definition: fix

A quick definition of W-2 form:

Term: W-2 form

Definition: The W-2 form is a document that your employer gives you every year that shows how much money you earned, how much tax was taken out of your paycheck, and other important information about your job. You need this form to file your taxes and get any refunds you might be owed. Your employer has to give you a W-2 form if they paid you $600 or more during the year.

A more thorough explanation:

The W-2 form is a document provided by an employer to their employees that reports important information about their income and taxes withheld for the previous calendar year. This form is used by employees to prepare their tax returns.

Employers are required to file a W-2 form for any employee who received non-cash payments of $600 or more for services rendered.

John works for XYZ Company and earned a salary of $50,000 in 2021. His employer provided him with a W-2 form that shows his total income, the amount of taxes withheld from his paychecks, and any benefits he received. John will use this information to file his tax return for the year.

Another example is if an employee received a bonus of $700 in the previous year, their employer would need to file a W-2 form for that employee.

These examples illustrate how the W-2 form is used to report an employee's income and taxes withheld for the previous year. It is an important document that helps employees accurately file their tax returns.

Yeah, I would have definitely gone to the hotel if I knew they booked a room for me. At the very least, it would be proper to show up personally and explain your extraneous circumstances

Nah but it's in your name. I went to an ASD. I asked the school for an extra night and they gave it to me. You just need to plan things better.

You live and you learn
16:45
because i did let one of the staff know i'd be leaving early and thought that would be enough
16:46
but i was confused why i got an e-mail with a room cuz I didn't ask for it at all
Law-Shark
16:46
Well, you know now what to do.
16:47
well on their end they prob shouldn't just be buying hotel rooms for ppl who don't request it and then getting mad I didn't go
16:48
goof
16:48
Did you get any materials for admitted students day explaining that they would be booking hotel rooms?
16:49
there was an opt in on the form but I didn't select yes
16:49
Hmm, that's weird
16:50
i think it's unprofessional of them to call you like what if you had an emergency and had to leave? why is it their business why you didn't stay? not like they're lacking money and $100.00 hotel room is gona make them bankrupt
16:50
i figured it was an error and I was on the road so I didn't read into it. plus it would make more sense for it to be the night before cuz it started at 9am? so I was like uhhh and paid it no mind
16:51
@bigfatsloth: that's what i'm saying, they were gonna pay no matter what
16:54
"This is like peak disconenct between the male and female brain." like bffr
16:55
It was probably an administrative error then. I can't imagine why they would book hotel rooms for people that didn't select yes. I would maybe follow up with them and apologize for the misunderstanding to avoid any awkwardness
