W-2 Season Explained
🧑🚀 Captain Max Orbit reporting.
Every January, employees wait eagerly for their W-2s. These forms are the launch codes for filing taxes, but too often, confusion surrounds what’s inside them.
What a W-2 Really Is
A W-2 is more than just a summary of wages. It includes:
- Total wages earned.
- Taxes withheld (federal, state, and local).
- Benefits deductions (healthcare, 401k, etc.).
- Other details like Social Security contributions.
Each number reflects how payroll has been managed over the year. Errors here ripple into tax filings and create stress for employees.
Why Accuracy Matters
When W-2s are wrong, employees’ tax returns are delayed, CPAs waste time correcting mistakes, and trust erodes. But when they’re accurate and on time, employees start tax season with confidence.
How Secure HR Gets It Right
We ensure W-2s are:
- Accurate — backed by ADP’s technology and our oversight.
- On time — delivered by the January 31 deadline.
- Clear — so employees understand what they’re looking at.
It’s more than compliance — it’s about reinforcing trust at a critical time of year.
🧑🚀 Captain Max Orbit’s Closing Log:
“W-2 season doesn’t have to feel like decoding alien transmissions. With Secure HR, every W-2 is accurate, clear, and delivered on time.”
