Retirement tax questions

If you were paid with a W-2 then that was employment incime, not self-employed income.     The employer that paid you must believe that you are covered under the employer provided retirement plan.    Is anything on box 12 on the W-2?

 

If you did  not contribute to the plan then  perhaps the employer made an employers contribution to the plan in which case it would not be in box 12, but does require that box 13 be checked.

 

 

If you think that is in error then contact the employer to correct the W-2.
