You can't have negative local wages. Are you looking at a W2 and not a different form?

That's a mistake. You don't make negative income on a W2.

Are your wages on this W2 $3540?

No, there is no correlation in this amount to the other amounts. It may have to do with a local tax or it's a payroll mistake, I will contact them. Thanks for your help : )

You're welcome. And, yes, negative earnings is a pretty crazy thing to have on a W2- so maybe they can explain that.
