A handwritten W-2 is OK to use. Your employer is required to file the W-2 with the IRS. The IRS will match the information reported on your return with W-2s it has received from employers.
If your employer took out taxes, it should be noted in the following boxes on your W-2:
- Box 2 - Federal income tax;
- Box 4 - Social Security tax;
- Box 6 - Medicare tax;
- Box 17 - State income tax.
