So, on my W2, what number do I put in Box '16' (State wages, tips, etc.)? Should it match Box 1 of my W2, or Boxes 3 and 5?

 

I pay myself a salary of $42,000, I am doing $19,000 elective deferral and $6,000 employer profit sharing. I put $25,000 in my Solo 401K.

 

  • Box 1 = $23,000
  • Boxes 3 and 5 = $42,000
  • Box 12 = code D, $19,000
  • Box 16 = ??????????
