A Form W-2 is an employee’s Wage and Tax Statement. It’s issued by an employer as a record of an employee’s compensation, benefits, and taxes withheld for a given tax year.

A Form W-2C (Corrected Wage and Tax Statement) is issued as a corrected version of your W-2 form due to an error on your original W-2 form. In the event that you receive a Form W-2C, you should use that form when filing your taxes to include the corrections on your return.

A Form W-2G reports gambling winnings and may also include detailed information on your gambling winnings, such as the type of wager, race and cashier that paid out your winnings.
