Question

On Form W-2, which box is matched with its use?

A. Box 10--Excess business expense benefits
B. Box 12 (Code I)--Nontaxable sick pay
C. Box 13--Payouts from nonqualified plans
D. Box 2--Federal income tax withheld

Answer 1

On Form W-2, Box 2 is correctly matched with its use, which is for reporting the federal income tax withheld from the employee's pay during the year.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question refers to the United States Form W-2, which workers receive from their employers, and which reports the worker's annual wages and taxes withheld from their paychecks. In the options provided, Box 2 is correctly matched with its use, which is to report the total amount of federal income tax withheld from the employee's pay during the tax year. Incorrect matches given are Box 10 (which actually relates to dependent care benefits), Box 12 Code I (which is not a valid code for W-2 forms), and Box 13, which is actually used to indicate if the taxpayer is a statutory employee, participated in a retirement plan, or received third-party sick pay.
