Retirement tax questions

FYI ... your TAX RETURN has nothing to do with reporting your wages to the SS Administration.   They get it directly off  the W-3 & W-2 forms that are filed by the employer directly to SS  and then that info is forwarded to the IRS for comparison with your return.   The posting of the W-2 info can take months especially if the employer mailed in the forms.     If you want to make sure they got sent then check with your employer.
