When you receive your IRS W-2 form each year from your employer, box 2, "Federal income tax withheld," shows the amount of tax money your employer deducted from your pay and sent to the IRS to cover the income taxes you owe.

A W-2 form, also known as the Wage and Tax Statement, is the document an employer is required to send to each of their employees and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) at the end of the year. The W-2 form reports the employee's annual wages and the amount of taxes withheld from his or her paychecks.

Box 1: Wages, Tips, and Other Compensation - The gross taxable wage amount your employer paid you. ... Box 3: Social Security Wages - The amount of earnings your employers paid, not including tips, that is subject to Social Security tax.

Form W-2 - Box 14 Other Information. Employers use Box 14 on Form W-2 to provide other information to employees. Generally, the amount in Box 14 is for informational purposes only; however, some employers use Box 14 to report amounts that should be entered elsewhere on your return.

Box 7 Shows any tip income you reported to your employer. Box 8 Shows tip income allocated to you by your employer. This amount isn't included in W-2 Boxes 1, 3, 5, or 7. For information on how to report tips on your return, see your Form 1040 instructions or IRS Pub. 531, Reporting Tip Income .

Report the option on your 1040 as income at the appropriate time -- after you receive it or after you exercise it. You'll see the amount listed on your W-2 if you're an employee, or on a 1099 form for non-employees. Add the original purchase price to the taxable income you reported on the option.

However, when you sell an option or the stock you acquired by exercising the option you must report the profit or loss on Schedule D of your Form 1040. If you've held the stock or option for less than one year, your sale will result in a short-term gain or loss, which will either add to or reduce your ordinary income.
