Your taxable wages would go in box 1. Box 2 would be the federal tax withheld from your wages. Box 3 would be your social security wages, which would often be the same as the wages in box 1. Box 4 would be the social security tax on the box 3 amount (typically 6.20%). Box 5 would be the Medicare wages, usually the same as the social security wages in box 3. Box 6 would be the Medicare tax (normally 1.45% of box 5).
Box twelve could have a myriad of items in it. You can look at the Form W-2 instructions to see if anything on your transcript needs to be entered in box 12.
Boxes 15 to 20 are for your state wages and taxes withheld.
