Hi!
I have a question on my 2025 W2 and looking for some guidance.
I receive both electronic (within my employer's HR system) and paper copy (via postal mail) of my annual W2 tax form for every tax year and the information between both version would always match. However, on the 2025 W2, I see some discrepancies. See below.
1. The EIN # (Box b) between electronic and paper copy is not same. The first 2 digits align, but the 7 digits after the hyphen is different.
2. The Employer info (Box c) is identical for most part, except that on the paper copy, just under the Employer Name there is an additional line (AGENT FOR: <<Employer Name>>).
All other information (Box 1 thru Box 20) between the 2025 W2 electronic and paper copy is identical.
Just to add. I checked prior year W2's and the EIN # on the 2025 W2 is identical with what was shown on prior year's W2.
Is this an issue? What EIN should I input in TurboTax while entering W2 info - the EIN on the electronic version?
Thank you!
