If one of the W-2's you received has tax year 2025 printed on it then that is reported on the 2025 tax return next year.

You should only include the W-2 for 2024 in your current tax filing. The W-2 for 2025 should be used for your tax return next year. Receiving a W-2 for 2025 this early is unusual and likely a mistake. It's a good idea to double-check with your employer to see if the 2025 W-2 was issued in error.

Here are the key points:

  • Include 2024 W-2: Use the 2024 W-2 for your 2024 tax return.
  • Exclude 2025 W-2: Do not include the 2025 W-2 in your 2024 tax return.
  • Contact Your Employer: Reach out to your HR department or payroll administrator to confirm whether the 2025 W-2 was issued by mistake.
  • Request a Correction: If it was an error, ask them to issue a corrected W-2
