I received multiple W-2s, why?

You could receive multiple W-2’s if you worked for more than one of our brands, which may have a different Federal Identification number (FEIN), or if you worked at more than one worksite.

I believe my taxes are reported incorrectly on my W-2.

The tax amounts reflected on the W-2 are the amounts that were withheld based on the associate’s Federal and State W4 information.

After the W-2 has been created the reporting of wages and tax monies have already been sent to the tax agencies. Withholding elections cannot be changed retroactively to refund or deduct additional monies post end of year filing. You should make attempts to reconcile your withholding directly with the tax agency.

You could receive multiple W-2’s if you worked for more than one of our brands, which may have a different Federal Identification number (FEIN), or if you worked at more than one worksite.

If you did not work for more than one site, the wages reflected on the W-2 are taxable wages. If you had Section 125 Cafeteria Plan deductions (e.g., medical, dental, vision insurance) or other non-taxable payments (reimbursem*nts) that may explain the perceived error.

If the two statements above do not apply to you and you believe your W-2 wages are reported incorrectly, please contact us through the W-2 Hotline (866-692-6695) for further assistance.
