W-2 and W-4

W-2

Boise State University is required by the IRS to furnish all employees with a W-2 Form, Wage and Tax Statement, for each calendar year to be used in completing the employees’ annual tax returns. The W-2 Form details the employee’s compensation and tax withholding amounts for the year from his/her paycheck. According to the Federal Treasury Regulation 31.6051-1, the W-2 Form must be furnished, meaning properly addressed and postmarked, by January 31 and 1042 Form (for Foreign National employees) by March 15.
