Retirement tax questions
Please review the W-2 entries in box 3-7 . These boxes should be blank. A common error is to enter Medicare tax withheld in the Medicare tax block - an understandable error since Medicare taxes have been paid. Box 2 is correct for the federal taxes withheld.
A "Railroad W2" is a standard IRS Form W-2 issued to an employee covered by the Railroad Retirement Act (RRTA). You will see the following differences from the usual W-2:
- Boxes 3 through 7 are blank.
- Instead, box 14 Other, reports “RRTA compensation,” “Tier I tax,” “Tier II tax,” “Medicare tax,” and “Additional Medicare Tax.”
