and taxes withheld within the calendar year of the year preceding.


Form W-3: W-3 Form, Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements, is a form employers must use when filing paper W-2s with the Social Security Administration. Form W-3 summarizes the total wages, Social Security wages, federal income tax withheld, and FICA tax withheld from employees during the year and lists the number of W-2s being transmitted.

Form W-4: W-4 Form, Employee's Withholding Allowance Certification, is completed by each employee so that the employer can withhold the correct federal income tax from the employee's pay.

Consider completing a new Form W-4 each year and when your personal or financial situation changes.
